IN THE NEWS: Eusey, a marathoner who was a scholarship volleyball player at University of California, Irvine, spoke last July on a podcast hosted by Don Yaeger, a longtime associate editor for Sports Illustrated.
NOTABLE: Winner of Business Journal’s Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award in 2023 and Women in Business Award in 2017.
QUOTABLE: “I think athletes know what it takes to win. I think the reason they know what it takes to win is because they’ve experienced what it takes to lose. This builds a resiliency … a little bit of a thick skin. I mean, it’s pretty easy after you lose—or don’t get a deal or aren’t growing like you’re supposed to be growing—to walk away and quit. But the athlete just knows that she has to get back to work the next day.”
