Summary
Emily Venters hasn't always had it easy. A childhood cancer survivor who has navigated the highs and lows of elite competition while managing race anxiety, she has met every challenge with positivity and that resilience has carried her far. Emily is now a professional runner for Nike, backed by a standout collegiate career that earned her five All-American honors. Based in Utah and training under coach David Roche, everything is clicking for Emily. Fresh off the Mastercard New York Mini 10K, where she was the top American finisher and fourth overall in a deep, competitive field, she joins Carrie for a wide-ranging conversation about running and life. Together they reflect on Emily's early career, what keeps her passionate about the sport, and how she channels her own experiences into meaningful lessons for the athletes she coaches. Emily is proof that a positive mindset can take you further than you think.
