Episode #124: Sophie Scott
Season 2 Episode 124
🎧 Sophie Scott | Resilience, Leadership, and the Grind of Division I Athletics
On this week’s Significant Coaching Podcast, Matt Rogers sits down with Sophie Scott, Senior Middle Hitter for Cal-Berkeley Volleyball, to explore what it truly means to be a student-athlete at the highest level. Sophie opens up about her journey through injury, recovery, and rediscovering her love for the game. She shares what what it truly feels like to play at the Power 4 level and dealing with all the things athletes just one generation before her never had to worry about: NIL, social media branding, coast to coast conference travel, and the chaos of the Transfer Portal.
Sophie’s story is one of resilience, gratitude, and perspective—an inspiring reminder that success in college sports isn’t just about performance, but about purpose and perseverance.
This episode also includes a quick shoutout to former guest and friend of the show Coach Sue Webber, who introduced Matt to Sophie.
