Ep. 180: What No One Tells You About Being a Tall Athlete | My Journey As A Former Athlete

tall girl problems, tall athletes

Welcome or Welcome BAAAACCCCKKKKK to another episode of A Tall Girl’s Podcast. So glad you’re here :) Before I get into this episode I do wanna say, make sure you’re following me on my socials @atallgirlspdocast on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest so that you can stay up to date on all of the latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my everyday life. Also, feel free to leave me a review below and let me know how tall you are! 

I want to quickly say thank you so much if you congratulated me on getting accepted into my first choice master’s program!! To be quite honest with you, I said on the previous episode to congratulate me about it and I didn’t think that people would actually do it, but quite a few of you did! So thank you for that <3 

Also, the tall girly events seem to be popping off this month because a two-time previous guest on the podcast, Rachel Willingham, actually invited me to her showcase in collaboration with an artist named Ross Pino! Her pieces included dresses and sets made from upcycled denim and they were painted by the artist she collaborated with. Super cool event; I had such a fun time meeting her and I can’t wait to meet her again. Peep the socials to see her pieces and more! 

Now for today’s episode, we are talking about tall people and sports as well as my journey as an athlete. 

“Do you play basketball?” 

“Oh you must play basketball or volleyball.” 

Those were two of the most common comments I’ve gotten as a tall girl growing up and honestly even at this age. And you’d be surprised just how disappointed some people were when I’d tell them that I don’t. Like I’m sorry…but you’re a random stranger. Why does it matter to you??? 

It’s pretty common that when somebody sees a tall person, they think that that tall person has some type of natural athleticism or would be good at sports. Well, newsflash…not all of us play or have played sports. Crazy, right?? However, there was a time where I did play sports. And that’s what we’re talking about today. 

I want this episode to be for the tall girlies who feel some type of pressure to play sports because of their height or have other interests besides sports. If this is you or you’re just genuinely interested in hearing about my journey, tune in! 

Thank you so so much for tuning in to this episode; I really appreciate it and I appreciate you. As always, feel free to hit me up on my socials @atallgirlspodcast and let me know what you thought about this episode or if you’ve had similar experiences. And until then, I’ll catch you in the next one! 

Goodnight and goodbyyyyyeee,

India
