Join Legendary Coach Lou Holtz and Elite Gymnast Sophia Campana for a Powerful Conversation on Courage, Character, and Empowering the Next Generation.

In this inspiring episode of The Lou Holtz Show, Coach Lou Holtz sits down with elite gymnast, mentor, and creator Sophia Campana to discuss the power of perseverance, the value of discipline, and how faith and leadership can shape the lives of young athletes. Sophia shares her journey from childhood gymnastics in Colorado to becoming an Italian national champion—training 30+ hours a week, pushing through mental blocks, and falling in love with the process.

They explore how fear can be transformed into fuel, how mentors and family build resilience, and why Sophia’s signature message—“your fire must be stronger than your fear”—has inspired thousands of young gymnasts around the world. As a coach and content creator, she now helps young athletes embrace confidence, overcome pressure, and reconnect with the joy of their sport.

Together, Coach Holtz and Sophia reflect on the cultural challenges facing youth today and how personal responsibility, faith, and mentorship are more essential than ever. With honesty, warmth, and wisdom, Sophia Campana delivers a message that transcends sports—encouraging all of us to live with purpose and lead by example.
