Most Tar Heel fans follow a handful of sports closely—basketball, football, baseball, maybe women’s soccer. But there is a whole world of Carolina athletics that many people never get the chance to explore.
During this year-long adventure, I discovered the pride, passion, and hard work inside every sport—whether it drew 500 spectators or 5,000. Watching the rowing team train at sunrise, seeing volleyball light up Carmichael, and cheering track athletes sprint down the home stretch opened my eyes to the depth of athletic talent at Carolina.
Every team has a story.
Every athlete has a journey.
Every event—big or small—matters.
Supporting all 28 teams made me appreciate UNC on a deeper level. The Carolina community isn’t just big; it’s beautifully connected.
