Inside HokieSports: Living to Dance

Marceda Gothe survived a mini stroke and came back to practice two weeks later.

Good morning! The Olympics are coming up, and men’s basketball answers what sport they think they would be best at in the Olympics outside of basketball.

📣 Marceda Gothe’s story
🦃 And much, much more!

🦃 STOCK UP

🔼 Dancing in her Bones. In 2022, rising junior Marceda Gothe suffered a minor stroke just a few weeks before her first practice with the HighTechs. The transient ischemic attack caused her to be unable to speak, have tunnel vision and not understand words or numbers. After the TIA, her body put Gothe into a dissociative state of mind where her emotions were disconnected from her body. Dance helped to improve all of that.
