In this episode, Mackenzie O’Neill, a women’s soccer student-athlete at Missouri Western and NCAA Division II SAAC representative joins Commissioner Mike Racy to talk about her student-athlete experience, being on the national SAAC, and other projects she has worked on with MWSU’s SAAC.   O’Neill begins the episode talking about why she choose Missouri Western for academics and soccer (1:57-2:57). Next, she talks about how she discovered soccer and what she loves about the game (3:07-3:48). O’Neill then shares what a typical day looks like for her as a student-athlete and what she likes to do her in free time (4:08-7:14). She then reflects what it was like to knock off the defending national champions last year in front of a large home crowd (8:03-9:08).   In the next segment, O’Neill provides insight into some of her career goals and what lies ahead after graduation (9:26-11:15). After that, she talks about the role that the Griffon women’s soccer team has with Team IMPACT (11:38-14:47) and some projects that Missouri Western SAAC has worked on, including granting a wish for the Make-A-Wish Foundation (15:02-16:40).   As a member of the NCAA SAAC Committee, O’Neill fills listeners in about how she got the role and some initiatives the national group is working on (18:02-20:50). Next, Commissioner Racy asks her if she could change anything about the MIAA or college athletics, what would it be (21:20-22:44)? As the show comes to a close, O’Neill provides an update on how her soccer season is going (23:10-24:30).
