012 Learn How to Play Where your Feet Are Pt. 1 with Cam Dobbs
What’s up guys! Welcome back, I’m so excited for you to hear this episode. I had the opportunity to talk with Cam Dobbs. Cam is a retired D1 collegiate volleyball player with a heck of story! Cam came from a family of collegiate athletes and had the privilege of playing at her dream school, University of Miami.
Freshman year of college, Cam had everything you could think of that you would want in a collegiate program…from amazing team chemistry, championship level volleyball program, a top tier broadcast journalism program, amazing teammates, tight relationships with her teammates you name it, she had it. Sophomore year was the exact opposite. Her athletic career was riddled with injuries, and she was constantly fighting for a starting position on the court.
After suffering two previous concussions, Cam suffered her third in a 12 month period which ended her career. This started the worst season of her life that she had ever experienced. During this season Cam had to relearn to do basic functions, she battled with every concussion symptom you could imagine from constant headaches, light sensitivity to an emotional roller coaster of depression, anxiety.
In the middle of this season is where Cam started to learn about the power of playing where your feet are. One of the things Cam mentioned during this period of her life that I think really nails the idea of a healthy perspective in the middle of a storm is this…she said there is purpose in your pain whether you are in the valley or on the mountain top, you can impact someone. We also talk about her journey with comparison and what it means to be fully confident in yourself as you are.
Another great one liner Cam said was this, “I think confidence is mixing contentment with commitment to continue to progress.”
