In this episode of The Women in the Arena Podcast, we’re joined by Captain Riley Tejcek, a United States Marine Corps officer, Team USA bobsled pilot, author, and all-around force of nature. Riley shares her incredible journey from growing up in Carmel, Indiana, to playing Division I college softball at George Washington University, serving in the Marine Corps, and now competing on the world stage as an Olympic hopeful in the sport of bobsled. Riley is proving that women belong in every arena- whether it’s the military, elite athletics, or beyond.

We dive into the realities of balancing active-duty military service with training and competing as a high-performance athlete, the challenges of being part of an unfunded Olympic sport, and the purpose that drives her every day. Riley opens up about her passion for representation, her faith, and her desire to inspire others by living boldly and pursuing what may seem impossible. She’s also a published children’s book author, former Ms. Military titleholder, and keynote speaker- using every platform she’s earned to advocate for women in service and sport.

This conversation is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when resilience, discipline, and passion collide. Tune in to hear Riley’s story, and learn how you can support her journey to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy by joining #TeamTejcek.
