1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: I think my mindset shifted when I stopped competing and

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: being competitive and comparing myself to others, And now I

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: just like compare myself to myself, like I want to

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: outdo me, Like I'm my biggest competition, Like I don't

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: care who you put in front of me. I know

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: everything about myself. I know my good and I know

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: my bad, and I'm my biggest competition.

63
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: Today.

64
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: I am sitting down with Sophie Cunningham. She is a

65
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: pro WNBA player for the Phoenix. How are you doing today, Sophie,

66
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: so good.

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: I'm so excited for this and to chat with you

68
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: a little bit.

69
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: I am so excited for this too.

70
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: You are a busy person by the nature of the

71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: fact that you typically play so many games every week,

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: so I just want to like take a down step

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: really quick and ask you, how are you doing really today?

74
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: Well? Thank you.

75
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm so happy you asked that, because I think when

76
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: you get when you are in the school terms like hey,

77
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: how are you?

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 4: Oh? Good bye?

79
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: You know, so it's just kind of a small talk.

80
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: But to be honest, I'm good. Like it's hot here

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I was at the pool yesterday. My only

82
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: downfalls I have a broken finger right now, it's part

83
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: of it, but no, my family's coming down soon, and

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: so I'm in a good spot.

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm happy with the broken finger.

86
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: How does that impact your game and does that tweak

87
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: you being able to get on the court?

88
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Not really, to be honest, because it's my off hand

89
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: and so if people watch me play, I have like

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: a claw out there, like it looks awful and I

91
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: should probably get my nails done because you know it's

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: drawing attention, but whatever.

93
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 4: But no, it's good.

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: I mean, the pressure of the ball sometimes hurts, but

95
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: when you're in it and your agentalin's going, it's all good.

96
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: It's all good. Yeah.

97
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: I've watched your like your shooting style lately, and it

98
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 3: is certainly a little bit different.

99
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit.

100
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: I let that thing fly, you know, I don't sometimes

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm not set.

102
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 4: You know, it is what it is.

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: But as long as it goes in, I'm not worried

104
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: about it.

105
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: Is it safe to say that you love what you're

106
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: doing right now?

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yes, Like, I just think, to be honest,

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: we're going through a heck of a year right now.

109
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: We got a new head coach, we just got a

110
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: new GM, we got new ownership last year with matt

111
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Ishbia and he's absolutely amazing and the people he's brought

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: in are really, really good people. And I think we're

113
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: just kind of in that transition year where it's a

114
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: grind right now and it's just one of those years

115
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: that you kind of have to find the joy in it,

116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: find the beauty. It's definitely in a valley. But I

117
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: think there's so much growth and so much beauty when

118
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: when you're struggling, and so it's just kind of that

119
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: growth mindset, that positive mindset through these times. It's definitely

120
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: testing our character. But for me, I don't look at

121
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: failures as a negative thing. I think when you're kind

122
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: of going through it is when you learn a lot

123
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: about yourself and about the culture and environment that you're

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: working in.

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: You're on the right podcast, lady, So talk to me

126
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: a little bit about where that mindset comes from for you.

127
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: Have you always been the kind of person that's able

128
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: to see the silver lining and the positives from a

129
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: struggle or has this been a thought process or a

130
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: mindset that has been acquired with time.

131
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: It's definitely been. Our family are very positive people. We're

132
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: actually farmers. I grew up in Columbia, Missouri, and so

133
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: farming there's a lot of beauty in it, but it's

134
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: hard work. Like I think everyone in their lives should

135
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: go be a farmer for.

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 4: Two days two and a half days, and I.

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: Think you'd have a different perspective on life just a

138
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: little bit. But our family, we're all very competitive. We

139
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of positive people, a lot of positive

140
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: male figures in our life, a lot of positive female

141
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: figures in our life, and so me and my sister

142
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: got very blessed with our environment growing up, and so yeah,

143
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: we always kind of saw the positive and things, but

144
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: it's not always easy, and especially when you're really going

145
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: through it, it's hard. Like before All Star Break, I

146
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: was like, what am I doing with my life? Like

147
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: this is not fun. I was going through a rut.

148
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't throw the ball into the ocean. I swear

149
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: to God I couldn't. And I was just like, this

150
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: is awful, Like why did I work so hard for this?

151
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: But for me, you know, I have a great faith

152
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: in God, and I know that you know you're not

153
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: going to stay down there and you're learning something through

154
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: those things. And so for me, that's what keeps me going,

155
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: that's what keeps me motivated, is because I'm learning something

156
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: through these valleys and through these hard times. And for me,

157
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: I want to be a great leader. I want to

158
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: be a great teammate. I want to be someone who's

159
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: great in the community. And you're not always going to

160
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: be on top. Not everything is always going to be

161
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: rainbows and butterflies, And so I think that when you

162
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: can really embrace those struggles, that's part of the story,

163
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: and that the struggle is what makes it even more beautiful.

164
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: Definitely, No, totally makes sense. You talk about this sentiment,

165
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: what did I work so hard for for this? Why

166
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: did I work so hard? And if it's going to

167
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: be like this, talk to us a little bit about

168
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: that work. When did you know that this was going

169
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: to be the path that you would be pursuing.

170
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be honest, I think from a very young age,

171
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be a professional basketball player, and

172
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I found success at a really young age. You know,

173
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: even at the age of five, I was playing soccer

174
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: on a boys team and the boys parents were getting

175
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: mad at me, and my parents are like, she's too aggressive,

176
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: she's too physical, And my parents had to carry my

177
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: birth certificate around and be like, no, she's actually the

178
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: boy's age. You know, she's just a great athlete. So

179
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, give her some props a little bit. And

180
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: so I wish I was better at school. I wish

181
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: I took it more seriously because when I put my

182
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: mind as something, I can do it right. But my

183
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: mind was always making it to the WNBA. You know,

184
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ups and downs. There. There's a

185
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: lot of moments in high school that were hard. You

186
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: missed out on a ton of things. There's a lot

187
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: of stuff in college. There are people who were giving

188
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: me threats to take my life and to take my parents' life.

189
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Like I really stirred the pot in college, Like I

190
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: don't know what I did, but I mean, it's part

191
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: of it, right. And then once I got here, you know,

192
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: I think through the struggle. My first couple of years

193
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: in the WNBA, I really didn't play much. I was

194
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: Diana Tarassi's sub when she was hurt. I would go

195
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: in when she needed a breathere, I went in and

196
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: I've never been something to come off the bench, and

197
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: so it was like a whole new territory for me

198
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: because I've always been a starter through high school through college,

199
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: and so it was something I had to learn. But

200
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: through that process, I got in the gym every single

201
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: day and I made sure I got one percent better.

202
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: And so I stayed persistent, even though I didn't like

203
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: where I was at. I still had to put in

204
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: the work because I knew that eventually it was my

205
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: hard work was going to show and it was going

206
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: to pay off, and during this runt a couple or

207
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: a month ago, I had to have that same mindset

208
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: I had five years ago, because I was like, what

209
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: the heck is going on? Like I'm known as a shooter,

210
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: and I sears I could even make a layup, like

211
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea what was going on. But I

212
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: still got in every day and I just made sure

213
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: that I was putting in the work because the ball

214
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: doesn't lie. And I hated putting in the work, but

215
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to still do it even when it's

216
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: not fun.

217
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: So much to double click on here first and foremost

218
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: were people coming for you because of the way that

219
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: you played in high.

220
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: School that I was just feisty. I still am, but

221
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: really was in college. I just didn't back down. And

222
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: I'm the ultimate competitor, and I'm someone who loves to compete.

223
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: And when I'm out on the floor, like I smile

224
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: and I laugh and like if you say something to me,

225
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm coming right back at you, Like I'm someone who

226
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: has to have the last word. And I'm not saying

227
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. It's got me into a bull

228
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but that's what makes me me,

229
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: Like I'm sassy, I'm feisty. I'm gonna have my team's

230
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: back and do whatever it takes to win, and so

231
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: I'll never apologize for that.

232
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: I remember I was reading an article on Britney Griner

233
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: was talking about how she also.

234
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: Has your back, right.

235
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: I forget what game it was in, but someone had

236
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: think like shoved you to the core and it was

237
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: like all hands on deck, like we've got your back,

238
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: just like you've got ours.

239
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And that is such a fun environment to

240
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: be a part of, and a culture to be a

241
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: part of is when you know your whole team supports

242
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: you and has you, then you can put your kind

243
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: of neck on the line when something happens for them too.

244
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: But when everyone has each other, it's a it's a

245
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: fun place to.

246
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: Play in, definitely.

247
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: And you mentioned you know, and thank you for your

248
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: vulnerability here talking about being in these difficult moments. Talk

249
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: me through where your mind goes when these challenges arise.

250
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: Is it straight to this place.

251
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: Where you're like all right, like put in the work,

252
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: I've got this whatever, or do you have some time

253
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: where you actually feel your feelings as well?

254
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh Sistar, here we go. We're about to unpack this.

255
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: So normally I'm a very much like go with the

256
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: flow type person, like I, no matter what's going on,

257
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: I want to have fun. I want to make sure

258
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: people feel good, and that's just who I am. But

259
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: I just started working with a sports psychologist because honestly,

260
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: at this point, everyone is good. Everyone are elite athletes.

261
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we're in the toughest league in the whole

262
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: entire world, and so what are you doing to set

263
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: yourself apart? And for me, that's my mental game. Like

264
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: if if my mental is on, I don't care who

265
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: you put in front of me, I'm beating them, you

266
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But that's part of the process

267
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: of what I'm going through right now is getting to

268
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: that point. And so a couple of weeks ago, when

269
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: I was in the rut, I called my sports side guy,

270
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: poor Zach.

271
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: You probably think I'm crazy.

272
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: I've just started working with him, and I was like,

273
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: I am in a rut and I think I'm going

274
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: to kill someone, Like I have cried so much. I

275
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: am just frustrated, like I don't know what is going on,

276
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: and I don't I'm not a crier, and I normally

277
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: see the positives but like for a couple of days,

278
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: like I was just like in my feelings and to me,

279
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: like looking back, it's funny now, but I'm so glad

280
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: that I let myself go there, because like I let

281
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: myself feel like that's part of this journey and a

282
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: part of being a professional athlete is you have thousands

283
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: of thousands of people always watching your every single move.

284
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: Like I can't go anywhere. It's a blessing. I can't

285
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: go anywhere out here without someone being like, oh are

286
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: you soaphy from the Phoenix Mercury, and so like you always.

287
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 4: Have to dot your eyes, cross your t's, you know

288
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: what I mean.

289
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: And so it's a lot of pressure sometimes and so

290
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: for me just to kind of stay home and feel

291
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: my feelings right down in my journal and honestly pray

292
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: and just get away from people was probably the best

293
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: thing I did. And now I'm back, you know, like

294
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: I let myself feel, put it aside, and now here

295
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: you go.

296
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: You're rewarded with the fact that you were allowing yourself

297
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: to go through all of those different emotions. Clearly, working

298
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 3: with this sports psychologist is certainly having an impact on you.

299
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 3: Is this the first time that you've worked with a

300
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: sports psychologist, and what would you say are some of

301
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: the best takeaways that you've had from your collaboration so far.

302
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's not.

303
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: We had a great sports psychologist in college, Scott and Mooreton.

304
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: She was absolutely phenomenal and she helped me a lot

305
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: through college. And I think what I've taken away from

306
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: her and from Zach and Brett Ledbetter so far is

307
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: like this is this is life. Like You're not always

308
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: going to be on top of the mountain, You're not

309
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: always going to be in the valley. So you can't

310
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: allow yourself to get so high and get so low.

311
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: And it's okay to feel and the hard times are

312
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: never gonna last. The good times are never gonna last.

313
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: And so I think for me, it's just putting my

314
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: best foot forward every day and if I can try

315
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: to be better every single day, sometimes that's gonna look different.

316
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna look different every single day. But if I

317
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: am am trying to be better every single day, then

318
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: eventually this long journey, I'm going to get who I

319
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: want to be. And you know that I have a

320
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: lot of goals. But again I keep saying this, but

321
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: it's so true, because I think people think that when

322
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: you're a professional athlete that everything always goes your way

323
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: and that you don't have hard days, you don't have

324
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: hard months or hard years or hard seasons, and that's

325
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: just not true at all. We're still human and this

326
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: is still our job, and everyone's job is not always fun,

327
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: and so it's just part of the beauty putting your

328
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: best foot forward every single day and trying to get

329
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: one percent better every day.

330
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: One percent better every day.

331
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: I love that he's touched on the fact that you

332
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: have a lot of eyes on you. Those eyes, the

333
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: number of eyes have been growing every year every season.

334
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: Was there an adjustment period for that for you? Not really.

335
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: I think I was, like I've always wanted to be, honestly,

336
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: like a singer, like a country music singer. Like I

337
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: always wanted to be on stage singing, you know, like

338
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: having the crowd out in front of me. So I

339
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: think I was like born to kind of entertain a

340
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: little bit. But with that it's hard, man, Like, you

341
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: can't offend people who don't have an ego, And that's

342
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: something that I've really held onto because when you have

343
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: good games and you let all these people praise you

344
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: and it makes you feel so good. Well, when you

345
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: have a bad game, you're still going to look at

346
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: these same people who are going to be, you know,

347
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: kind of shitting on you a little bit, and there

348
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna let that take the heart too. So I

349
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: just kind of block it out. I try to be

350
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: a positive influence with all my social media's. I just

351
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: try to bring light to people, bring a smile to people,

352
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: and I try not to take it too seriously. But

353
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: then I think there are important topics like mental health

354
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: and kids and teenagers who are in sport that need

355
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: to hear things that are the truth. And so I

356
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: think the older I get, I want to kind of

357
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: take on that mentor roleshift a little bit to help

358
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: people with their journey. But also like it's so fun,

359
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Like I think mental health people are always like, oh,

360
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: it's so tight and scary to talk about, but I

361
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: think it's honestly kind of really fun to talk about.

362
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: Well, then let's talk about it. Let's do it.

363
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: So what has your experience been when it comes to

364
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: taking care of your mental health?

365
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: Would you say that you've always been able?

366
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: I know I asked you before about upkeeping with this

367
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: positive mindset. But have you had experiences in your life

368
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: where getting to that place has been challenging for you?

369
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes in the middle of season when you don't when

370
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: you're traveling a lot and you can't get that balance,

371
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: is sometimes when it kind of turns into a grind

372
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: and you can't appreciate that you could do dribble orange

373
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: basketball for a living. And so I've always been someone

374
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: I promise from a very very young age. I think

375
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, she had to be a gym rat

376
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: if she made it to the league, or the way

377
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: she shoot, she has to be in the gym six

378
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: hours a day. And that's honestly the absolute opposite thing

379
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: I ever did. Like I when I went to practice

380
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: and I got in my extra shots, and when I'm

381
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: in the gym, I'm in the zone and I'm going

382
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten percent.

383
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 4: No one is outworking me. I promise you that. But

384
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: then when.

385
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: Practice is done, I'm going straight to the pool, I'm

386
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: going to the lake, I'm going somewhere outdoors. I'm hanging

387
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: with my friends and I'm not doing anything with basketball.

388
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's why I have found success is

389
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: because I have that healthy balance of I put in

390
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: my work and I go super super hard, and I

391
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: feel good about what I did, and then I get

392
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: to go lay out at the pool tan and turn

393
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: my brain off and just enjoy life. And so I

394
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: do think it is very important to kind of have

395
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: that balance.

396
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: So then what does mentorship look like for you right

397
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: now when it comes to either speaking out about mental

398
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: health or other topic areas that you are enthusiastic about.

399
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just sharing as much as that. Well,

400
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: we're traveling a time right now, so it looks a

401
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: little different than it does in the off season. But

402
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: right now, I think it's just like kind of showing

403
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: my day to day, showing what I eat, showing what

404
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: our practices look like. I'm at the pool all the time,

405
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: showing people like, hey, you know I'm here, I'm chilling,

406
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting my time in, my balance in and for me,

407
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: I have a lot of people reach out and I

408
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: try to get back with them. In the off season,

409
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: we host a Sophia Hunningham Classic back home in Columbia, Missouri,

410
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: and we make sure we talk with every team and

411
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: make them ask us questions like let us help mentor

412
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: you because it is hard being a teenage girl, especially

413
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: when you're tall and you have bigger shoulders than the

414
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: guys and you have bigger muscles than the guys. Like,

415
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: it's hard, and sometimes it does take a mental kind

416
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: of beaten on you because you just don't feel girly

417
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: or you just feel bigger than everyone. But we're like, no, sister,

418
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: that is your superpower. And one day you were going

419
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: to love your shoulders. You're gonna love how tall you are,

420
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: so embracing your shoulders back.

421
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 3: Did you go through a period where you had difficulty

422
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 3: accepting yourself for what you had to offer?

423
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Honestly, this is so funny because I'm six to one

424
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like anywhere from one hundred and sixty five

425
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: to one hundred and seventy two pounds, Like I do

426
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: not hide that, Like I am.

427
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 2: A big girl a specific range.

428
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Like well that's like that's the brain TIM

429
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: always in. And I say one hundred and seventy two

430
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: because like that could be the highest. But I proudly

431
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: say that. But I am so blessed because I had

432
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: an aunt who was six y three, my mom was

433
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: five eleven, my grandma was five ten. We have really

434
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: tall athletic women and we're not we're we're not petique,

435
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: and so they're always like, you know, embrace that, like

436
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: that is your superpower, Like this is what's going to

437
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: make you stand out. And I think from a very

438
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: young and our father figures, I also want we always

439
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: kind of are really hard on men. But my dad

440
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: is the best girl dad that I have ever seen.

441
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: My uncles are the best girl uncles. My grandpa, like

442
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: everyone really embraced us and like put us on this

443
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: pedestal to like be beautiful, strong, tall women, And that's

444
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 1: going to be your superpower. That's what's going to make

445
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: you stand out and become who you want to be.

446
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: And so for me, I've just carried that message on.

447
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: I tell young girls that all the time, and I

448
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: also tell young boys that because I think that they

449
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: deal with a lot of mental health issues that we

450
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: don't give them credit for or try to help them

451
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: as much. And so for me, I do want to

452
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: help the young girls as much as possible, but I

453
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: do think it is important to help the young boys

454
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: as well, who are in.

455
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 3: Sports, yeah, being able to open up about this stuff

456
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 3: that they may not feel necessarily safe to do.

457
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: So all of the time. You mentioned in being a mentor.

458
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 3: That part of that for you is showing balance across

459
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 3: your social platform, showing both the practice and the hard efforts,

460
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: but also kicking back as well. And you talked about

461
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 3: what I eat. Talk to me a little bit about

462
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 3: how at your height, your stature, your performance level, you

463
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: are fueling on the right.

464
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to start because I'm going to be

465
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm a very authentic person. Like I'm just gonna throw

466
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: it out there that I used to eat a big

467
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: Mac and ten Peace Chicken McNuggets before games in.

468
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: College and high school.

469
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: Like I was disgusting, and so I like I just

470
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: didn't care, like I was finding success. But when you're

471
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: at a young age and you're at a fun college,

472
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: like you're not really caring about what you put into

473
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: your body. And about three years ago at the pro level,

474
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: like I was like, dang, I'm feeling old, Like my

475
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: knees are hurting, my back is hurting.

476
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, what is going on?

477
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: And so I really started to like dial in on

478
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: my on my diet, and I saw my body transform,

479
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: especially this past year, Like I got tests to see

480
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: what I'm sensitive to, allergic to. I've really cleaned up

481
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: my diet, and I promise you everyone who knows me,

482
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: they think it is like they don't even know what's

483
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: me anymore, because I used to eat McDonald's Wendy's talk

484
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 1: about all the time and I'm that stuff is so grossed,

485
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: like why are you eating that? But now I've been

486
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: working with Quest a lot. They've helped me get the

487
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: protein I need. Absolutely phenomenal. I've really used them every

488
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: single day with my coffee, with my snacks, with bars

489
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: because we're traveling all the.

490
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: Time, and I'm making sure that I mean.

491
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: Healthy, I mean clean, because that's what you need to

492
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: treat your body like elite motors, and that's what I

493
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: haven't been doing, but I have been doing the past

494
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I see a nine day difference

495
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: in my game as well.

496
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: For sure.

497
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 3: I'm definitely a cookie dough quest curly, what's yours?

498
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 4: Okay?

499
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: So have you tried the new blueberry bar?

500
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: Oh? I haven't yet.

501
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. It is like a blueberry muffin. Like

502
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not someone who really liked all the protein

503
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: stuff because like it's too chalky to me. But they're

504
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: new products that they have put out lately. Oh my gosh,

505
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: like it is like a moist blueberry muffin. I'm not

506
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: even kidding. So I'm gonna send you something.

507
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 4: You gotta try it.

508
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: Not getting the deal deal.

509
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 4: You know.

510
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 3: The thing that's funny about you is I think it's

511
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: on your Twitter page.

512
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: The caption is God and food are all in need. Yes, ma'am,

513
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that.

514
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: So okay, we're making sure that we're getting that protein in.

515
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: Are you big on hydration now as well?

516
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 4: I am?

517
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: And I set the record at Miszoo for the worst

518
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: hydration test of all sports of any year. And so again,

519
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna just be honest because I used to

520
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: suck at it. I used to suck with my diet,

521
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: and now, especially living out here in Arizona, you've got

522
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: to be on your hydration. And I've had some back issues.

523
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: I tour both my elbows with some Tommy John if

524
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: you know what that is with baseball, so I'd have

525
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: to get both of those done, and hydration plays a

526
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: huge role in my recovery. So hydration and protein are

527
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: my two biggest things that I've got to keen on.

528
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure that we establish for

529
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: those that may be out of the loop that Sophie

530
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: is currently twenty six and she feels old.

531
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel younger because I'm treating my body

532
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: more like a temple. But you know, there's those weekends

533
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: where it's just, you know, you feel like you're eighteen again.

534
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: You know, then you wake up and you feel fifty six.

535
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 4: So you're trying to find that balance.

536
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: You know, I'm more often than not feeling fifty six.

537
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: So I hear you, I hear you. I have a

538
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: few years on you.

539
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 3: So then talk to us a little bit about what

540
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: excites you right now with the work that you're doing,

541
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 3: both in and outside of basketball.

542
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: All right, we'll start within basketball. For me, I am

543
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: twenty six. It is my fifth year in the league,

544
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: and what is so exciting for me? And I'm not

545
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: a patient person and so it kind of sucks sometimes,

546
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: but it's exciting right now that people don't reach their

547
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: best basketball until they're thirty two years old in the league,

548
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: and so for me, like I'm making big strides. I

549
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: am staying here in the off season and I'm getting

550
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: a trainer, I've worked on my diet, I'm in the

551
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: weight room, my conditioning level. I'm doing some NBA TV

552
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: for the Suns, and that's actually opened up my perspective

553
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: of basketball off the court, of watching film almost and

554
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of exciting things on the court. Hopefully,

555
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, I can be a part of the three

556
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: v three Olympics with the USA Basketball, so I know

557
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: I'll get a shot at that. And so there's a

558
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: lot of exciting things basketball wise. But again, it's all

559
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: nice and shiny, but you still have to put in

560
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: the work and you have to get there, and so

561
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. I'd say, off the court, yeah, yeah,

562
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: everything looks nice, but it's the journey of getting there

563
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: and all the ups and downs, and but I'm looking

564
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: forward to it. And then off the court, I have

565
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: two AU teams. They're called Team Sophie Cunningham, and that

566
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: is like one of my biggest things that I love

567
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: is because I get to talk to these girls, I

568
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: get to help mentor you get to go to all

569
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,239
Speaker 1: these tournaments around the country. Well let me say, all

570
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: these guys get to go to all these country or

571
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: all these tournaments around the country, and they get all

572
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: these they get like shoes they get bags, they get

573
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: all this gear and all that type of stuff, and

574
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: we just didn't like growing up. I know, like that

575
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: was ten years ago for me, but we just didn't

576
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: get that stuff. And so I'm an Adidas athlete, I'm

577
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: also a Quest athlete, and now I get to kind

578
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: of collab with these really two big companies and give

579
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: it back to these.

580
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: Girls who deserve it, and so I get really excited

581
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 4: about that.

582
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: And then I have the Sophie Cunningham Classic, which is

583
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: a all girls tournament pretty much, and we get to

584
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: throw a lot of cool people are there. ESPN is

585
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: going to be involved. We get to talk to these teams,

586
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: we get to help mentor these girls, and it's a

587
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: very interactive, hands on experience for these young athletes. So

588
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: it's super exciting, super fun, and I'm looking forward to

589
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: it again this year.

590
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 3: He touched on you know, women playing their best basketball

591
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 3: at age thirty two and older. We've already mentioned Diana

592
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: Trassi and Britney Griner. What is it like for you

593
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 3: to play on a team with these two incredible humans?

594
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, there's just like not a lot of words

595
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: to put into it, because they are Diane is.

596
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: The goat of the WNBA of.

597
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Women's basketball in general, and so just to kind of

598
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: get a little piece of her mind and her mentorship

599
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: has been unbelievable. The way she thinks, like her and

600
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: Kobe are on the same level. And I always try

601
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: to tell people that because everyone knows Kobe, but she

602
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: is the woman Kobe, and like they are crazy, but

603
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: they are so freaking smart at the same time. And

604
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: then you have VEG who's the best post player in

605
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: the whole world, and you know, last year was super

606
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: tough for her family, for her, for us, and just

607
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: to kind of have her back and see her smile

608
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: and being able to play with one of the posts

609
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: the best post players that ever go through women's basketball

610
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: has also been super fun. But my relationships with both

611
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: of them are so so different. BVG is more chill,

612
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: She's more like me. She has a balance of when

613
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: she's done with practice, she's done, and then d you know,

614
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: he's always thinking. She's always thinking how we can get better,

615
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: what she can do to grow her game, and so

616
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: just kind of having the balance of both of them

617
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: have been fantastic.

618
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 3: If you're comfortable talking about it, I'd be so interested

619
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: to know from the inside looking out, like how just

620
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: all of I don't need to go into BG's story.

621
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: I think everyone's familiar with it now.

622
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: But now that you're in season, how that has impacted

623
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 3: your team as you're kind of moving forward here.

624
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: It is actually kind of hilarious because we've had her

625
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: back for a while, Like we see her every single day,

626
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: but every time we play a new team, So we

627
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: have eleven teams that we go to their home gym,

628
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: and every single time it's a new homecoming for VG

629
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: and so it's like hilarious because it's like eleven times

630
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: it's over and over, which it is so well deserved,

631
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Like the w fans fully deserved. They got behind her,

632
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: they got behind us, but it's just like funny to

633
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: us because we're like, oh, we haven't been here, Here

634
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: we go again, B And so she gets through standing ovation,

635
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: she gets her way, her moment.

636
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 4: Of fame, and it's just hilarious.

637
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: But to have her back and just to see the

638
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: support that not only the w gave us, but the

639
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: NBA men and women's soccer leagues, other sports and then

640
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: people who just aren't in sports has been absolutely unbelievable.

641
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: And I know that people have their different views about it,

642
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: and I get both sides of it, but I think

643
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people only know ten percent of the

644
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: story and what really happened. And I promise you that

645
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: if they had a loved one over there in that situation,

646
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: that they would want them home regardless too. And so

647
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: I think it is a great way to just show

648
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: grace and love and to kind of hold your loved

649
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: ones closed because there's a lot of stuff that people

650
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: just don't know.

651
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 3: Taking a break from today's episode to give some love

652
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: to my sponsor at you Can Now. Are you tired

653
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: of the spike and crash and gi distress that comes

654
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: with sugar based sports nutrition, Well, then it is time

655
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: that you give you Can a try. I cannot get

656
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: enough of their Edge Energy gel. It is my new

657
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: go to for my long run fueling. The strawberry banana

658
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: flavor truly brings me back to my childhood. It feels

659
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: like I'm eating my favorite yogurt from when I was

660
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

661
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: I don't know seven.

662
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 3: Anyway, I am taking one of these every thirty to

663
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: forty five minutes on the run and it helps me

664
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: stay energized and give my muscles what they need to

665
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: keep on moving to keep on performing at their best.

666
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this, but some of

667
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: the top marathon runners in the US, I'm talking Kira Tomatto,

668
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: Emily Sissen, Sarah Hall, Emma Bates.

669
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: They all fuel with you Can.

670
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 3: They rely on you Can to power their training and

671
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 3: their races. And come on, Kira literally just fueled her

672
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: American record setting half marathon with two Edge Energy gels

673
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 3: during the race. I talked to her personally. She told

674
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,720

Speaker 3: face level with someone, you never really know what's going

692
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: on behind. Maybe it's the screen if you're looking on Instagram,

693
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: the TV, if you're watching your game on TV or

694
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 3: whatever media and you're kind of taking a look through.

695
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: Now you talked about the AU team, Sophie Cumming hand,

696
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 3: the Sophie Cunningham classic. Can I just like stop you

697
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 3: for a second when you say stuff like that, like

698
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: does it shake you?

699
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: Are you like, Holy, isn't it insane?

700
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 4: No?

701
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: Because it is so like if people actually knew me,

702
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: and I promise you my best friends are like, if

703
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: these kids just knew you, or like these fans just

704
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: knew you, they would think you were the biggest work.

705
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: And I'm like I know, and I'm like I don't

706
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: try to hide it, like I don't know. And that's

707
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: like one of the first things I tell people, like

708
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: when they are like starstruck and I that's weird enough,

709
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: that's weird to say but when they are, I'm just like,

710
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: I promise you I'm not that cool, Like I swear,

711
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: you're probably way cooler than me. And so I just

712
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: always just try to greet people with hugs and make

713
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: them feel comfortable because I didn't have a WNBA player who.

714
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 4: Was given back to us when we were younger.

715
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: Like, I just think it's so cool being from the

716
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: Midwest and being able to like go back and give

717
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: back and show kids that even if it's not basketball,

718
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: to like dream big whatever is like setting your soul

719
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: on fire, go for it.

720
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 4: And that's my biggest thing for him.

721
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: Who did you look up to when you were growing up?

722
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 3: And who would you say? Maybe some of your biggest

723
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 3: mentors are now.

724
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 4: Okay, that is a great question.

725
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: I just have always been a super competitive kid, and

726
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: so like when people are like who did you look

727
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: up to? I was just so dang stubborn. I was like,

728
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: no one, because like I'm going to be better than them?

729
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, why am I like that? Why am I

730
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: like that? Like be nicer, be better? But if I

731
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: had to pick one, I'd pick me a ham Like

732
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to be a soccer player.

733
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: My sister had the opportunity to play dual sport basketball

734
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: and college basketball and soccer in college, and I actually

735
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: did too, And I always wish that we would have

736
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: done it, Like I always think that would have been

737
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: so kind of badass with us, but it's too much.

738
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: So I think Mayaham was probably a mentor because she

739
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: was just a badass woman and she put USA women's

740
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: soccer on the map, like she was just like the it.

741
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: You know. Now, I think mentorship, I don't have one

742
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: specific person, but I have a lot of people from

743
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: from different areas, so, like I don't know if that

744
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: made sense. So I have like people for sport, I

745
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: have people for life. I have people for my finances,

746
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: for my mental health, for my diet, for doing outdoorsy stuff,

747
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: for doing country stuff or doing city stuff. Like I

748
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: just like the more that I get older, I just

749
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: think it is so important to not just choose one thing,

750
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: like kind of get your hand in everything that you're

751
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: passionate about, like try to learn as much as possible.

752
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: And I think having a growth mindset in every little

753
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: thing just like helps you be a well rounded human.

754
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's the answer you're looking for, but.

755
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: That's kind of I mean what I'm what I'm hearing

756
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: you say in this is you went from this place

757
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: where you were like I'm not going to look up

758
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 3: to anyone, to now being someone who's so open to

759
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: looking up to others and having mentors and asking for advice.

760
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 3: So would you say or can you articulate maybe like

761
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: a point where that change for you?

762
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

763
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: I think in college I was just like super competitive

764
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: and like I just wanted to I feel like I

765
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: just had so much to prove, but like for who

766
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: for what?

767
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 4: Right?

768
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: Like I I oh, no one anything like my I

769
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: think my mindset shifted when I stopped competing and being

770
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: competitive and compare myself to others, And now I just

771
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: like compare myself to myself, like I want to outdo me,

772
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: like I'm my biggest competition, Like I don't care who

773
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: you put in front of me. I know everything about myself.

774
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: I know my good and I know my bad, and

775
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm my biggest competition. And so I think that's when

776
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: my mind shifted, is because I stopped comparing myself to others.

777
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: And I don't even know how to explain it, like

778
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm my biggest competition and so I think the older

779
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: that I'm getting, I want to learn from successful people,

780
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: Like I want to learn what they did to get

781
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: where they're at. I want to find true happiness, true piece,

782
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: true joy, Like I want to genuinely give back and

783
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: help people be genuinely happy and successful. And I think

784
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: that when you're just stuck in your own way, you're

785
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: never going to get there. And so that's why I

786
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: try to like learn and listen to as many people

787
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: as possible who are successful or where I want to

788
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: be one day to see what they did and kind

789
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: of take multiple pieces from different people and kind of

790
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: take what I want and make it myself.

791
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, I really resonate with that. So for

792
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: someone who may be listening to this that really struggles

793
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 3: with falling into the comparison trap, as we love to

794
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 3: call it, do you have any advice for them?

795
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 4: Man?

796
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: I have been around the most famous people you can know,

797
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: people who have a lot of money, people who might

798
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: seem to have it all, and they are some of

799
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: the most unhappiest humans that you will ever meet. And

800
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: it's sad because I had a teammate who is a

801
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: very well known teammate and me as a rookie making

802
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars. She came up to me and she goes,

803
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: how are you so happy and full of life? Like

804
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: what I'm like, Give me your millions of dollars and

805
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: I'll be happy.

806
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 4: Like let's switch lives for a second.

807
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: And I just think that there are so many things

808
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: you can't put your your heart into two earthly things.

809
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: I think for me, I rely a lot on my faith,

810
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: and that's where my true joy, in my my identity

811
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: truly comes from is God. And I think that when

812
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: you try to put your identity into basketball, into money,

813
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: into fame, into being prettier or nicer or skinnier than

814
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: all these other girls or even guys, you're always gonna

815
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: feel empty. It's like chasing the wind. And so for me,

816
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: I put my identity in Christ, and I think that's

817
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: what really keeps me grounded and what makes me be

818
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: able to like truly be my authentic Haffy self.

819
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: It's interesting for me that I'm going to ask you

820
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: this question.

821
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 3: Be you, guys, I don't have, like us strong relationship

822
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: necessarily a strong religious affiliation.

823
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 2: Although I was raised Jewish.

824
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: So with being on the road with kind of being

825
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: all over the place all the time, how do you

826
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: anchor yourself in that religion and what do you do

827
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: to kind of keep up with your faith?

828
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's a great point because a

829
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: lot of people don't have religion. But I think for me,

830
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: it's like love conquers all. And I think that when

831
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: you can like truly love, and when you say love,

832
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: everyone's always like, oh like love other people, No, love yourself,

833
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: like love your flaws, love what makes you unique and

834
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: you different because other people will be looking at you

835
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: and wish they had that. And so I think for me,

836
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: you do travel all over the place, and I've been

837
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: here for two days and I'm about to leave for

838
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: six more days, right, so, like in in season is

839
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: just crazy. But for me, I just try to get

840
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: a routine. I take my Bible with me everywhere. Sometimes

841
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: I read it, sometimes I don't. But I think the

842
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is be a light, like shine

843
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: your light wherever you are and just try to be

844
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: a positive influence because I do think love and you

845
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: can just love people where they're at and meet them

846
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: where they're at, then that kind of show that helps

847
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: them love themselves as well. And so it's hard, especially

848
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: when when you are on this crazy schedule like we are.

849
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: It is hard to kind of have a routine and

850
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: find a community of people that might have the same

851
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: beliefs as you or have the same morals as you.

852
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I think when you

853
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: can just love people, that's the biggest thing.

854
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, when you said, like when you can

855
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 3: get to a place where you just meet yourself with

856
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 3: where you're at, it rings to me or it makes

857
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: me think about, you know, coming of age right and

858
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: getting to this point where it's so easy during your

859
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 3: teenage years too, Like we were talking about play that

860
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: comparison game and judge yourself so harshly. Do you remember

861
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: when you personally turn that corner and really just embraced

862
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: what it was that you had to offer instead of

863
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: judging yourself.

864
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I'm laughing because I'm such a late blimmer,

865
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: Like I promise you, I'm still like trying to g

866
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: bow up, you know what the girls says, like blow

867
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: up still because oh my god, I'm funny sack, because

868
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: I'm still like trying to like become the you know,

869
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: the best version of yourself.

870
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 4: Whatever.

871
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: But I think in high school, we just had a

872
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: good group of boys and girls that there wasn't a

873
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: lot of comparison. But you do find yourself in those

874
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: times of as an athlete and in high school when

875
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: like you're going through the weird puberty age, like you

876
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: you just look weird, right, Like everyone goes through it

877
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: and it's just like part of life. But I did

878
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: find myself sometimes like, man, like I wish I was skinnier,

879
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: Like why isn't my hair longer, thicker? Like why why

880
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: is her skin way clearer than mine?

881
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

882
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: Like, you do find yourself going through those things, and

883
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: it's like, wait a second, if I was that petite

884
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: or if I was that skinny, I'd be get my

885
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: butt kicked on the basketball court, like I would not

886
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: be who I was created to be. And so I

887
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: think for me, it's just finding the strength within yourself

888
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: and really like coming to terms and like enjoying who

889
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: you are and like whatever makes you weird or different

890
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: from everyone else, like that's what's cool, That's what attracts

891
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: people to you. And so I think just like embracing

892
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: that and being confident and finding a really small, good

893
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: group of people to like, love you and support you

894
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 1: regardless is huge.

895
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: You're too huge.

896
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 3: Aside from the fact that you say you're still in

897
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: your glow up era, although I would say like you

898
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 3: are glowing, what else makes you unique? Instellar and different

899
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: from everybody else?

900
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I don't know if I would use all

901
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: those terms, but I just don't try to fit in anymore.

902
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's so important for I think young

903
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: guys to hear, because I think young athletes in general,

904
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: male or female, you miss out on a lot of

905
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. You miss out on prom you

906
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: missed out on school dances. You don't maybe get to

907
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: go hang out or go to the party or whatever

908
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: you want to call it with all your people because

909
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: you have games or I remember au ball, I wasn't

910
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: home all summer. I was home for three days my

911
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: junior year of summer. So you missed out on a bunch.

912
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: But with great things comes with great sacrifice. And I

913
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: think that that's something that I just had to like

914
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: hang my hat on. Is like I'm putting in the

915
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: work for something greater and I might not see the

916
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: benefits of it now, but in six years when I'm

917
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: the WNBA and I'm on ESPN and I get to

918
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: do these cool things, I'll know that it's worth it.

919
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: And so for me, sometimes you have to think big

920
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: picture and then sometimes you have to think small picture.

921
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 4: And so.

922
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just try not to fit anymore.

923
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: I think when I laugh at on the court, I

924
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: smile a lot on the court. I'm feisty on the court,

925
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: and sometimes that gets me in trouble. But that's what

926
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: makes me me, and that's why the fans gather around me.

927
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: That's why I love the fans, because they're all a

928
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: lot more like than the things.

929
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 3: So what would you say one of the most difficult

930
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 3: sacrifices you've had to make in your come up in

931
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: sport has been.

932
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: A thousand thousand percent being away from my family and friends.

933
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 4: Like I get to.

934
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: Do really cool things, you know, you get to play

935
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: in all these cool stadiums, you get to go to

936
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: these cool cities, you get invited to full events. Yet

937
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 1: you don't get to ever have your best friends coming

938
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: along with you. You don't get to have your parents come

939
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,959
Speaker 1: along with you. And I'm someone who I got really

940
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: blessed with a great family and a really good group

941
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: of friends. And I missed them like crazy, and so

942
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: if I could move all them out here, it would

943
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: be a million times better because I just know that

944
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: people would out here in Phoenix would fall in love

945
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: with my family friends, just kind of how they fell

946
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: in love with me. But I think just being away

947
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: from home and missing out on weddings, missing out on

948
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: your close friends having kids, missing out on family dinners,

949
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: friends hanging out, going to the lake like it is

950
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: the small things and big things that it kind of sucks.

951
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: But then again, you know you can't live this lifestyle forever,

952
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: so you have to embrace it and put your best

953
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 1: foot forward.

954
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 3: And put your best foot forward. How often would you

955
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 3: say that you get back to where you grew up.

956
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: As much as possible. And so if I have a

957
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: couple of days off, I'm going back home. And sometimes

958
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: I wish I would go to Cabo and just hang out,

959
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: But I know that going back home and see my

960
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: friends and family is going to fill my cup up

961
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: a lot more than you know, probably tequila on the beach.

962
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 3: Heard heard, Yeah, I mean, speaking of filling up your cup.

963
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: What else do you do to take care of Sophie?

964
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I make sure I know I really do live

965
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: a very kind of simple life, like to fill my

966
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: cup up and to make sure I'm in a good

967
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: mental zone. I need to get to the pool, I

968
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: need to get a tan, I need to maybe go

969
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: to the hair slan make sure my hair is a

970
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: little blonder, because if you look good, you play good.

971
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: And I do need to get my nails done. Already

972
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: showed you that. But outside of that, I think one

973
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: of the other things that really makes me feel good

974
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,919
Speaker 1: is helping out with the Ronald McDonald House, helping out

975
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: with the Boys and Girls Club, like giving back the

976
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: Children's Hospital is a huge, big thing that I love

977
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: to do. And it's just like give to others that

978
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: maybe things that they won't be able to do when

979
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: they're older because of difficulties that they had to go

980
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: through that I never got to go through or had

981
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: to go through, I should say. And so I think

982
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: giving back is really what helps my heart grow fonder

983
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: and helps me really enjoy where I'm at, because sometimes

984
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: it is easy to complain. It's easy to kind of

985
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: get caught up in the grind. It's easy to you know,

986
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: kind of like sometimes because you do get you do

987
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: miss out on so much especially during the summertime and

988
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: you get a lot of fomo. It's like, what can

989
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: I do to help someone else feel good? And then

990
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: that's kind of what helps me feel good.

991
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and especially in a sport or so often, like

992
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 3: y'all are traveling all over the place and even in

993
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 3: the off season going overseas, so you know, it's something

994
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: that so many athletes, regardless of order, are navigating all

995
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 3: the time.

996
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I think that's something a lot of people

997
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: don't know, is WNBA players. We're here from you know,

998
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: early May until mid October, and then you're shipped off overseas.

999
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: You're in Turkey, used to be Russia, anywhere in Europe

1000
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: and Australia and you're there for solid seven months. And

1001
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: so that's where we make our money. That's where it's crazy,

1002
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: because the WNBA is like the most elite level basketball,

1003
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: but you get paid the worst and so that's why

1004
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: you have to go overseas in order to know kind

1005
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: of to make your money.

1006
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 2: How has that experience been for you traveling overseas?

1007
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am the wrong person to ask those wildvan

1008
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I think my rookie year,

1009
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: I went over to Australia, absolutely fantastic, loved it, loved

1010
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,479
Speaker 1: the culture. My sister actually came with me. We had

1011
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: like the time of our lives. And then COVID happened,

1012
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: and then my third year I went over to France

1013
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: how to love the girls, how a good experience got injured,

1014
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: And once you get injured over there, they don't want

1015
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: anything to do with yet. And so my good experience

1016
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: turned bad really quick. And then after that I was

1017
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: like done, Like I just it just wasn't my thing.

1018
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just feel like I wanted to train.

1019
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to be home. My grandparents are getting older,

1020
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, and they have a huge family farm, and

1021
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: so I wanted to help out there as much as possible.

1022
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: And then last year, when I just kind of hurt

1023
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: my other elbow, I just decided to stay out here

1024
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: in Arizona, and I kind of got into broadcasting and

1025
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved it, and so I'm going to probably

1026
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: be doing that and training the off season from here

1027
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: on out.

1028
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that.

1029
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 3: Just for context, can you give us some examples of

1030
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 3: things that you are doing on the farm.

1031
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, girl, I should have brought you out

1032
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: there and we could have done it firsthand. But okay,

1033
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: so it depends on the season. So we have planting

1034
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: season and harvesting season and so planting season like you're

1035
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: out in the field until like six am, excuse me,

1036
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: six am until you know, probably around seven whenever it

1037
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: gets dark.

1038
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 4: So not bad.

1039
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: But my first year like legit farming farming was during COVID,

1040
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: and like we just to go out there just like

1041
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: for you know, gigs and whatnot and not like really

1042
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: doing anything. Like, oh, we were on the farm helping

1043
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: our pawpall, but during COVID we were actually like farming

1044
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: and we had to get up at like five am

1045
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: and to not go to sleep until one am. And

1046
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: my grandpa is like seventy nine years old doing this,

1047
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: you know, since he was six years old, and I'm like,

1048
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's way stronger than me, just like

1049
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: he just has a I don't know. Farmers are just

1050
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: smart because they have to know a little bit about

1051
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 1: the economy, the weather, plant like all that type of stuff.

1052
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: And I just I just didn't realize how hard it was.

1053
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: And I will never be a farmer again.

1054
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 3: Just a little insight into what farming looks like for

1055
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: the wmbas so Vahr. Well, right now, I know we

1056
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 3: talked a little bit about social media and Instagram before.

1057
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 3: You've got something like one hundred and eighteen thousand followers

1058
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 3: on Instagram. When they come to your page, they see

1059
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 3: a WNBA player, they see an Adidas athlete. What you

1060
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: look in the mirror? What is it that you see

1061
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 3: looking back at you?

1062
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 4: I love I love that question.

1063
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: When I look at myself in the mirror, I'm proud

1064
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: of everything I've been through, but I'm not satisfied like

1065
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: I want to. I just have so many goals that

1066
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: I haven't accomplished. But I'm also just so grateful and

1067
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: so happy with where I'm at. And then, like I said,

1068
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: it's not always easy, and there's hard days. There's things

1069
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: that just don't go my way. I don't feel like

1070
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: it's fair. But at the end of the day, I'm

1071
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 1: very blessed, I'm very grateful, and I'm just here to

1072
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: give back. And so I hope when people come to

1073
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: my page they feel a sense of happiness, they feel

1074
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: like they belong there.

1075
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 4: When I look in the mirror.

1076
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: I see a lot of growth, see where I want

1077
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: to be but I'm content but not satisfied. And so

1078
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, I'm a hot mess. I see

1079
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff.

1080
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: Content but not satisfied.

1081
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 3: You know, that's the second time in our conversation today

1082
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 3: that you said I have a lot of goals.

1083
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 2: Do you care to elaborate.

1084
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:21,479
Speaker 4: I'll give you one.

1085
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: I don't have to give away all the secrets. It's cool.

1086
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: No, No, There's just been something in my gut ever

1087
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: since I was a young girl that I want to

1088
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: be an Olympian, Like I just want to be an Olympian,

1089
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: and so that is a main goal of mine. I

1090
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: don't care if it's three v three. I don't care

1091
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: if it's five on five, like, I don't care what

1092
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: it is. But I want a gold medal. And so

1093
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: that is a goal, and you best believe I'm going

1094
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: to be working my tail off until I get it.

1095
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that.

1096
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 3: You know, it's one of those things that you put

1097
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 3: it into the universe, and the universe conspires to work

1098
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 3: with you to get you to where you want to be.

1099
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: So I doubt that's the first time you've said that

1100
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 3: out loud. But now all of these people that are listening,

1101
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 3: are going to help hold you accountable, and they're going

1102
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 3: to want it for you as well.

1103
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: Okay, but if I don't, then you guys can just

1104
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: meet me at the pool and we can hang out

1105
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: and we can watch it.

1106
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 3: So we're going to Arizona. Yeah, perfect. I already asked you,

1107
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 3: like what excites you right now? But what else are

1108
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 3: you looking forward to in the immediate future besides working

1109
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 3: your tail off to get maybe to Paris or who knows,

1110
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 3: La twenty twenty eight.

1111
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: Man, I think getting my feet a little bit more

1112
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: wet in the broadcasting industry. I think I have a

1113
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: great opportunity here with the Suns. They have a stacked

1114
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: roster this year, and I think it's going to be

1115
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, a lot of hype around the

1116
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: valley out here in Arizona. I just think, get my

1117
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: feet wet in industries that I think I'll want to

1118
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: do when I'm done playing basketball, which is another you know,

1119
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: fifty years right, Like, I don't want to retire anytime soon,

1120
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: but I do think the broadcasting area is kind of

1121
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: where I want to go, and so just trying to

1122
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: get better at that. It's a lot harder than it looks.

1123
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: And to be honest, I tried starting a podcast and

1124
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: that's hard too, Like being flowy and and your questions

1125
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: on par and doing all that, Like you do a

1126
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: fantastic job, and it's a lot harder than people think.

1127
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 2: It is, so so sweet.

1128
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 4: Steps to you, Sis, thank you.

1129
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: Well.

1130
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: You and I can jam about podcasting whatever you want.

1131
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 3: We'll have to have a one on one. I'm here

1132
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 3: to help, I'm here to mentor you.

1133
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 2: Sophie, there a GOALSI.

1134
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 3: All right, girl, Well, right now you have an opportunity

1135
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 3: to offer yourself a piece of advice. Let's go back.

1136
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 3: You talked about that rut that you were in not

1137
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 3: all that long ago, you knowing what you know. Now

1138
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 3: you have an opportunity to offer yourself a piece of advice.

1139
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 3: Going through a period where you're just not satisfied with

1140
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 3: the work that you're putting out. What do you tell

1141
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 3: yourself during that hurdle moment?

1142
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: For me, I'm just stubborn and I don't have patience,

1143
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: and that's something that I know I need to work on,

1144
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 1: Like everyone knows that. But for me, even though I'm

1145
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: frustrated and annoyed, my piece of advice is still put

1146
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: in the work, even if the work is ugly, even

1147
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: if you know you're in the gym and you're not

1148
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: making your shots, at least you're in there at least

1149
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: like putting in the work. And I do feel like

1150
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: that if you are the hardest worker and you genuinely

1151
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: want to get better and put in that work. It's

1152
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: not always fun, but you have to then the ball

1153
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: won't lie and you're not gonna be stuck in a

1154
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: rep forever. And I think that's the biggest advice that

1155
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: they gave me.

1156
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 4: At the time.

1157
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: They were like, my mentors were like laughing at me

1158
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: because I knew how frustrated and they're like, girl, this

1159
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: happens to everyone. Like I'm like, I'm gonna like stay

1160
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: like this for like ever because I'm just drama, you know.

1161
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: And they're like, no, like this happens to everyone. Just

1162
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: keep putting in the work, like you're fine. It's not

1163
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna last forever. And I think that's the biggest piece

1164
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 1: of advice is don't get too high.

1165
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 3: Don't get too high, don't get too low. Sophie Cunningha'm

1166
