Kicking off the first episode of the New Year, DePaul track & field thrower Jaiden Gary joins the Blue Demon Room to give an inside look at the sport of throwing.
Now in his second season with the Blue Demons and coming off a freshman year that earned him Co–Male Freshman of the Year at The Billy's, Jaiden explains how he introduces his sport to newcomers, why staying calm is critical in an event that lasts just 12 seconds, and how mindset separates competitors. Jaiden also shares what it was like meeting Olympic gold medalist Ryan Crouser, growing up with 15 siblings, and how playing multiple sports led him to the throwing circle. He reflects on coaching himself in high school, building trust with his college coach, and embracing the tight-knit nature of the throwing community.
From the meaning behind "Da Truth" to his goals for 2026, Jaiden offers an honest look at the journey of a collegiate thrower.

In this episode, we sit down with head women's tennis coach Marisa Arce, a leader known for building more than just competitive teams, she's built a true family. Coach Arce shares how intentional culture, daily habits, and personal connection shape her program, and how those values show up in the way her teams train, travel, and support one another.
We revisit her own collegiate career at the University of Illinois, where she left her mark as one of the program's all-time greats, and explore how those formative experiences influence the way she coaches today. From redefining what winning really means to offering lessons on leadership that extend far beyond sports, this conversation is a powerful look at what it takes to build trust, unity, and sustained success.
