The 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast is back with another season! And our
first guest of this season is Mike Hostilo!
Mike moved to Beaufort, South Carolina in the 7th grade. Mike's dad
is a marine and Mike grew up in Laurel Bay Military Housing.
"In military communities, it was really important for the
parents and the kids to be involved in youth
sports."
Just like us, you've probably seen commercials for the Mike Hostilo
Law Firm around town. But did you know, Mike was a student-athlete
in high school. Attorney Mike Hostilo is an excellent example
of a former student-athlete pivoting into an extremely successful
career off the field.
The PIVOT is a power position in basketball. If you're in the
pivot, you're in the 3RIPLE 3HREAT. You have three choices: pass,
dribble or shoot. In basketball, you have seconds to make this
position. In life, you have a little more time to come to a
decision.
Most middle and high school student-athletes do not go on to become
professional athletes. Listen to Mike Hostilo's story to learn when
he pivoted from athletic dreams to professional dreams and how he
utilized the skills he learned on the field to grow a successful
law firm. In 2022, the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast is going in a
different direction with a focus on psychology. For
example, this year we will have guests on the podcast
discussing mental health when it comes to the student-athlete. With
professional athletes like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka opening up
about their mental health struggles, it’s time we bring this issue
down to the middle and high school levels.
Tune into the 3RIPLE 3HREAT podcast to hear about The Ultimate
Student-Athlete Experience: stories about student-athletes, for
student-athletes and by student-athletes!
Our DAE Foundation message is to bring quality information to
student-athletes, parents of student-athletes and the community
that supports them both. There is a wealth of knowledge being
shared in our interviews with stories from former collegiate
players, professional athletes, collegiate coaches, sports agents
and more.
