Athlete, Actually is a women’s sports podcast hosted by 9x National Champion water skier and marketing strategist Elizabeth Montavon, featuring candid conversations with professional women athletes across dozens of sports.

In each episode, Elizabeth sits down with a professional woman athlete — from Olympians and Paralympians to national champions, record holders, and MVPs across more than 85 sports — for a conversation that goes beyond their highlight reel.

On Athlete, Actually, we move past the press conference questions and into the ones athletes actually want to answer, about identity, ambition, money, motherhood, sponsorship, pressure, performance, and what it really takes to compete at the highest level. These are layered stories about women in sport whose lives don’t fit into one mold.

Produced by Parity, a sports marketing consultancy representing over 1,500 professional women athletes, the podcast draws from one of the most diverse rosters in sports. Each episode offers a deeper understanding of who these athletes are, not just how they perform.

For sports fans, industry leaders, and brands who want to understand the real women behind the jersey, Athlete, Actually delivers conversations that are thoughtful, unscripted, and impossible to reduce to a headline.

There is no default woman athlete. This is Athlete, Actually.
