Following Jesus with a Platform w/ Ella Swindle from UT Volleyball | Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 131

Success can reveal just as much about us as failure.

In this episode, the guys sit down again with Texas Volleyball National Champion Ella Swindle to talk about pressure, platform, identity, social media, and what happens when winning stops. Ella shares honestly about the expectations that come with playing at Texas, the backlash athletes face online, and the challenge of keeping faith at the center when the world keeps making everything about performance.

They also talk about mental pressure, championship highs, difficult losses, and why knowing who you are in Christ matters far more than public opinion or success. Throughout the conversation, Ella reflects on how God stayed faithful in both victory and disappointment, and why athletes are often carrying more than people realize.
