Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome back to Futter Around and find out
Speaker 1: it's your girl shanty. And it might be hard to believe,
Speaker 1: but you guys, we finally reached the end of season.
Speaker 2: One of the podcast.
Speaker 1: Whoo, what a fun time it has been so since
Speaker 1: Asy's off with her team getting buckets and really close wins.
Speaker 1: We thought a perfect way to end the season would
Speaker 1: be to give you a compilation of some of the
Speaker 1: best moments from season one. First, we have Stephan Curry
Speaker 1: telling us why he chose to take Asy under his
Speaker 1: wing and what makes a great shooter. Having Stephan Curry
Speaker 1: on was a dream guest. He's one of the best
Speaker 1: basketball players to ever touch a ball.
Speaker 2: I want to start by taking it back to twenty
Speaker 2: eighteen Curry Camp when I was invited. What do you
Speaker 2: remember about that?
Speaker 3: Man? Oh man, it was like a very special time
Speaker 3: in you know, my journey in terms of what the
Speaker 3: you know, the select camp actually meant. I had been
Speaker 3: with UA for four years at that point, and we
Speaker 3: had had like this really tight roster of all young
Speaker 3: men who were coming in the ranks looking to work
Speaker 3: on their skills, and we had this idea obviously of
Speaker 3: you know, how can we make this better and more
Speaker 3: representative of what basketball looks like. And hear you and
Speaker 3: cam Brink come in walking into Walnut Creek, California in
Speaker 3: the gym and as the first two female Curry Select campers,
Speaker 3: and one I noticed just your confidence walking into the
Speaker 3: room of I'm supposed to be here, even if maybe
Speaker 3: I don't know what your experience was, but it felt
Speaker 3: like one year ready to work and you were willing
Speaker 3: to do any and everything that we asked of you.
Speaker 3: But two, it was like you could tell the talent
Speaker 3: and the skill and the dedication to the game immediately.
Speaker 3: And so from that point it was it was the
Speaker 3: perfect kind of transition into you know, you taking that
Speaker 3: chance on coming and not knowing what you're getting into
Speaker 3: to now what it looks like, what eight years later
Speaker 3: and you're paving the way for so many athletes behind
Speaker 3: you now and now as a counselor coming in and
Speaker 3: hanging out with Cannon, you like you're like part counselor
Speaker 3: park babysitter. That's all he was looking for is where
Speaker 3: it's a at.
Speaker 2: I prefer friend, you know, like me and Canon we're friends.
Speaker 3: Now. That is true.
Speaker 2: That is true if you remembers me.
Speaker 3: Oh, he definitely remembers you.
Speaker 2: I still remember getting my invite to that first camp.
Speaker 2: Cam and I were on the you seventeen USA team
Speaker 2: I think or six remember when U sixteen USA whatever,
Speaker 2: we're on the USA team just got to Belarus. My
Speaker 2: mom called me and she was like, hey, you just
Speaker 2: got this invite. Have you seen it? And the WiFi
Speaker 2: was weird, so I hadn't seen it, so they sent
Speaker 2: it to me. But Cam and I were actually roommates
Speaker 2: and we were talking about it, and it's like this
Speaker 2: whole hype video of Curry Camp. What that looks like?
Speaker 2: They want to invite me? And I remember like being
Speaker 2: confused as to why you guys wanted to invite me,
Speaker 2: but also just in shock, like no way, And it
Speaker 2: was funny that we were roommates. We got to talk
Speaker 2: about it and then see each other a week later.
Speaker 3: There that's crazy, just knowing We broadcast a little bit
Speaker 3: of the camp, and you know, you've seen some clips.
Speaker 3: I think it was like Seventh Woods and Dennis Smith Junior,
Speaker 3: who were like our first two campers back in the
Speaker 3: day into what it was when you showed up. But
Speaker 3: now we've got was it twelve to fourteen young men
Speaker 3: and young women, both on as part of the Curry Camp.
Speaker 3: But none of that would have happened had y'all not
Speaker 3: accepted the invite and took a chance on us. So
Speaker 3: we're forever grateful for that because you had to walk
Speaker 3: through the door.
Speaker 2: Well, we definitely appreciate it. I do too. It's definitely
Speaker 2: a life changing moment and experience and has been since. Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: you've supported me through high school, my college commitment, through college,
Speaker 2: through injuries, championships, and now my rookie year. What moment
Speaker 2: has stood out to you?
Speaker 3: I mean, how much time do you have? How long's
Speaker 3: this pot? It's like so many moments, so many moments
Speaker 3: with you. I think my favorite moment though, is you
Speaker 3: trying to go out here and think that you could
Speaker 3: win the three point contest in a boot. That's still
Speaker 3: my favorite. You remember that.
Speaker 2: You were hurt.
Speaker 3: You were hurt. She's hurt, like can't really do all
Speaker 3: the other drills, but she's still around. I think this
Speaker 3: is the second year. We came back the next year
Speaker 3: and we had like an all star game at this
Speaker 3: high school in Oakland, and we have like a halftime
Speaker 3: three point contests and we're like, I think ag might shoot,
Speaker 3: but she's got lily a walking boot on. We're like,
Speaker 3: all right, we'll see what happens. She's the one out
Speaker 3: here having fun, but that look of I do this,
Speaker 3: And so she got out There was cash from all
Speaker 3: around the court, every rack in a boot. I don't
Speaker 3: know how she ca le graded the balance and all
Speaker 3: of that stuff, but that was just to me like
Speaker 3: my favorite moment of you're your confidence your competitiveness too,
Speaker 3: Like no matter what the situation was, you just wanted
Speaker 3: to compete, get out there going against the guys, and
Speaker 3: so I feel like that was my favorite moment just
Speaker 3: knowing that you're a killer, it doesn't matter what the
Speaker 3: situation is. Toughness like you had to show that and
Speaker 3: there's no stakes of all, Like what a summertime select
Speaker 3: can three points shootout?
Speaker 2: I just wanted to win.
Speaker 3: I tell you to sit down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon was so mad at me. He did not
Speaker 2: want me to shoot or for everyone listening. Brandon is
Speaker 2: one of Stephan's basketball trainers that I work out with
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: He yeah, he's serious about we have to protect the
Speaker 3: asset like she's not supposed to be and you couldn't
Speaker 3: tell you anything. So he's been through that a lot
Speaker 3: with me too. He was he was well conditioned for that.
Speaker 3: That no answer.
Speaker 2: I'm good, Okay, this is something that I've always wanted
Speaker 2: to ask. But why me? Why did you decide once
Speaker 2: you invited me to kind of just take me under
Speaker 2: your wing. It's something you did not at all need
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: Whenever people ask me this question, like I think they
Speaker 3: answer changes just depend on what moment pops up in
Speaker 3: my head first, But I think generally it's just when
Speaker 3: you're around the game long enough, you understand somebody that
Speaker 3: has a spirit of gratitude and appreciation for every moment
Speaker 3: that they get to hoop. You get the seriousness they
Speaker 3: take it when it comes to watching you work, and
Speaker 3: you can't fake that. And no matter how talented you were,
Speaker 3: highlights us all if you're in high school or this
Speaker 3: and that, like when you you know, understand your parents
Speaker 3: and when you got to you know, talk to them
Speaker 3: and hear the story of you know, how you grew
Speaker 3: up and how much the game means to you, how
Speaker 3: you treated people when you came into the building like
Speaker 3: the most not polite, but like just professional, even as
Speaker 3: a high schooler of understanding why you're here and not
Speaker 3: wasting anybody's time. That goes a long way. So yeah,
Speaker 3: we loved like the fact that you were like one
Speaker 3: of the most talented, uh you know, hoopers that we
Speaker 3: had seen, But just the idea of just how you
Speaker 3: handle things on and off the court that matters more
Speaker 3: than anything, because then there's this idea that no matter
Speaker 3: what comes your way, you're gonna be able to figure
Speaker 3: it out. Like not everybody's path is and you would
Speaker 3: know and everybody's path is straight in terms of just
Speaker 3: this you know, easy breezy Coast to the w NBA,
Speaker 3: but just the idea that no matter if it was
Speaker 3: an injury, no matter if it was you know, a
Speaker 3: tough loss or bad game or a hard workout or
Speaker 3: whatever the case was, like, you were going to show up.
Speaker 3: And so I think we felt that from the jump,
Speaker 3: and it's pretty much gone exactly as expected in terms
Speaker 3: of your ability to be able to figure out whatever
Speaker 3: challenge is in front of you. So the fact that
Speaker 3: you're wearing that sweatshirt right now is still crazy to me.
Speaker 3: Wanted means getting it means I'm getting old, But it's
Speaker 3: also dope. It's also dope that you're you know, you're
Speaker 3: right where you're supposed to be because of what you
Speaker 3: you know, the work that you put into it.
Speaker 2: Thank you, I really really appreciate that. That's so beautiful.
Speaker 1: And yeah, girl super resilient and you heard it from
Speaker 1: one of the goat's mouths.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna keep giving the flowers. Don't worry out
Speaker 3: what I said, how many questions you got. We're gonna
Speaker 3: hype her up because she deserves it for.
Speaker 1: Sure, literally me all the time. Okay, that's my family
Speaker 1: to so steph Azy. You guys are you know, two
Speaker 1: of the best shooters in the game.
Speaker 2: Step.
Speaker 3: What makes a great shooter first is confidence. I think
Speaker 3: that's the biggest. It's kind of undefinable trait in terms
Speaker 3: of like if I walk into gym, I don't know
Speaker 3: how to say who's the most confident of the group.
Speaker 3: If you got a bunch of shooters but being able
Speaker 3: to mentally turn off you know, a miss and have
Speaker 3: amnesia almost when it comes to what's supposed to happen next.
Speaker 3: I think there's like mechanics that you could direct somebody
Speaker 3: to if they're starting from scratch on like, what's quote
Speaker 3: unquote the perfect jump shot in terms of you know,
Speaker 3: your balance, how your feet are, position, shoulder square to
Speaker 3: the basket, what you're supposed to be looking at on
Speaker 3: the rim ball, position in the hand, like all that stuff.
Speaker 3: But I will say, everybody, all I know, you know
Speaker 3: so many great shooters that everybody shoots differently. Me and
Speaker 3: As have totally distinct forms, Az and Klay Thompson closer,
Speaker 3: but still different and unique to each of them. So
Speaker 3: I think it's it's a mental part of the like
Speaker 3: the confidence and you're sometimes called it irrational confidence of
Speaker 3: no matter what shot I'm taking, I think I'm going
Speaker 3: to make, and it's built on you know, the reps
Speaker 3: helu Yeah, for sure, the reps that you put into it.
Speaker 3: But then there's there's a repeatability that you know, great
Speaker 3: shooters have no matter what their shot looks like. That's
Speaker 3: what Asy has almost mastered. If you took, you know,
Speaker 3: a thousand pictures of a thousand shots, they probably would
Speaker 3: all look exactly the same at the top of her
Speaker 3: her jump shot, and that's why she's such a consistent
Speaker 3: great shooter. I have a little bit like looser kind
Speaker 3: of mechanics to me, but I think when I get
Speaker 3: to the top, it all kind of looks the same
Speaker 3: as well. So you got to have a little bit
Speaker 3: of mental and the physical connector. But it's all built
Speaker 3: on work. You can't cheat the game.
Speaker 2: M Well said, what.
Speaker 3: Do you think I'd say. I'm not the host of
Speaker 3: this podcast. I'm asked what is a great shooter to you?
Speaker 3: Because I want to know from another great shooter what
Speaker 3: that means.
Speaker 2: I agree with what you said. I feel like, if anything,
Speaker 2: when you watch basketball, you see not like no shots
Speaker 2: look the same, no form looks the same. You can
Speaker 2: have the ugliest looking build up wind up, but if
Speaker 2: it works for you, then it works for you. If
Speaker 2: it's consistent, like you make it work then but I
Speaker 2: agree you have to be able to repeat. That has
Speaker 2: to be consistent.
Speaker 1: I like the delusional confidence where it's like everything I
Speaker 1: put up is going in period period.
Speaker 3: If you if you if you could have a microphone
Speaker 3: on in your in your brain, like at that moment
Speaker 3: when you're about to shoot, it's like there's no other option.
Speaker 3: You almost surprised if you miss. But also I will say,
Speaker 3: you know, you get to a point where you know
Speaker 3: right away as soon as that ball leaves her fingertips
Speaker 3: that which was about to happen. We could we could
Speaker 3: pretty much predict the outcome. You might get a couple
Speaker 3: of surprises or lucky balance, but for the most part
Speaker 3: we know as soon as we let it go.
Speaker 1: Next we have superd talking about all things you can
Speaker 1: and advice for Azy in the future.
Speaker 2: I felt inspired talking to super Bird.
Speaker 1: I feel like when she talks, it just makes you
Speaker 1: want to be not only a.
Speaker 2: Better basketball player, but like a better person.
Speaker 1: She wears many hats and she aspires me to live
Speaker 1: many lives.
Speaker 2: Okay, so recently we had coach or Yamma on our
Speaker 2: podcast and there were a lot of comments on social
Speaker 2: media after about how he joined our pod before yours,
Speaker 2: and I was curious to know what your response was
Speaker 2: to that, but also like, why is that Why hasn't
Speaker 2: he joined your pod? Well, he hasn't been invited. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: that makes sense.
Speaker 4: So for the podcast, I do by myself bird's eye
Speaker 4: view that right now is like only players. I think
Speaker 4: eventually actually only like w NBA players, And I think
Speaker 4: eventually I'll start to like branch out go the coaching
Speaker 4: route college players.
Speaker 2: Maybe like that kind of a thing.
Speaker 4: But right now it's just WNBA players, so he doesn't
Speaker 4: you know, the man never played, so he doesn't fit
Speaker 4: as far as it touched more goes.
Speaker 2: You know, Megan and I talked about it. We want
Speaker 2: to get CD.
Speaker 4: On before we get anybody on and support CD keeps
Speaker 4: turning us down.
Speaker 2: Oh she did say that the other day. She was like,
Speaker 2: who wants to hear what I have to say? I
Speaker 2: was like, CD, everyone, he doesn't want to hear what
Speaker 2: you have to say? Everybody? You know everything, We've been
Speaker 2: there for everything.
Speaker 4: She's also, when CD comes on, then maybe we'll throw
Speaker 4: the invite.
Speaker 2: Out to coach. I'm crying. Okay, you gotta keep pushing.
Speaker 2: I'll keep like yeah Connor for me. Yeah, not that
Speaker 2: I hold any power over nobody does.
Speaker 1: So. On the pod, uh, we asked you know a
Speaker 1: question about an I L and it came up whether
Speaker 1: you know you guys would leave? What do you think
Speaker 1: if you if an IL existed when you played?
Speaker 2: Do you think you would have still stayed at Yukon? Oh?
Speaker 2: My god? Like left early?
Speaker 1: I mean not even early, like each year. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can transmit to a different school. And I also want
Speaker 1: to know your thoughts about if DT would have leave it.
Speaker 2: To nah, I don't think we would have left. I
Speaker 2: don't think I would have left. I'm a big believer.
Speaker 4: Like when your team is good, all the money's coming,
Speaker 4: all the accolades are coming, everything's coming when your team
Speaker 4: is good. So like whatever you might get if you
Speaker 4: left to go on your own, I feel like if
Speaker 4: you stay and you win, which obviously we know that
Speaker 4: that my era, like we went out champions, like you're
Speaker 4: just gonna get just as much.
Speaker 2: So I don't think we would have left.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, you know, stores would have had
Speaker 4: to figure it out. They would have been sponsored by
Speaker 4: like Deep Dough and tids, they would have had to
Speaker 4: figure that out.
Speaker 2: Well, that would have been really funny the fundraise. I
Speaker 2: basically I basically kept Deep Dough afloat. Let's be honest,
Speaker 2: hand literally, I've actually never had Deep Dough. You've never
Speaker 2: had Deep Dough. It's like a calzone spot.
Speaker 4: But they have like I can't even like a ton
Speaker 4: of different col zones, and you know they deliver after midnight.
Speaker 2: So that's what it is. That's what it is.
Speaker 1: So when you were looking for colleges that you wanted
Speaker 1: to go to. What other schools were you considering?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so the only two other schools that I visited
Speaker 4: were Stanford and Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, Vanderbilt feels like so random for people now,
Speaker 4: but will give Shay a shout out. They're on the
Speaker 4: they're on the come up, they're coming back.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah. So those were my my three final schools
Speaker 2: at the time. You got to go way back, Like,
Speaker 2: I was a big.
Speaker 4: Fan of Jen Easy, So Stanford to me was like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is where you go to be like the best
Speaker 4: point guard, you know, so that really stuck out. I
Speaker 4: remember tar Vanderverer kind of recruited me to be a
Speaker 4: point guard.
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt.
Speaker 4: Interestingly enough, Jim Foster was there, who's actually coach Rayama's
Speaker 4: like one of his close friends, possibly even like a mentor.
Speaker 4: At one point, they were kind of recruiting me to
Speaker 4: be a too, which thinking about that now is like crazy,
Speaker 4: but yeah, they were recruiting me to be a two.
Speaker 2: And then Ukom was kind of like you know how
Speaker 2: they are.
Speaker 4: They're like, hey, this is who we are. If you
Speaker 4: like it, cool, come on over. If not, all good,
Speaker 4: So they were playing hard to get a little bit
Speaker 4: and clearly.
Speaker 2: I was attracted to that the exact same way. I
Speaker 2: think that's so incredible, Like the exact same way. If
Speaker 2: you come here great, if you don't, I know, you
Speaker 2: look forward to beating you.
Speaker 4: People always ask about like what keeps them, what makes
Speaker 4: them great? And I'm like the fact that they have
Speaker 4: literally been the same for I don't even know how
Speaker 4: many years they've been there, like thirty forty years, this
Speaker 4: is yeah, this is forty forty one. Oh yeah, fortyieth
Speaker 4: was last year. Forty one years, They've literally been the same.
Speaker 4: It's it's really incredible that they haven't gotten and I
Speaker 4: don't say this in a negative way, but that they
Speaker 4: haven't gotten bored or like complacent.
Speaker 2: In doing you know and being great and doing what works. Yeah, impressive.
Speaker 2: Coach reminds us all the time that he's like, well
Speaker 2: now it's a little it's a little bit different before
Speaker 2: it was. Have you guys ever won No, I've won eleven,
Speaker 2: so like, I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing
Speaker 2: this for you.
Speaker 4: I don't believe him when he says that. I'm like,
Speaker 4: it's a little bit for you. Come on, like you
Speaker 4: like it too. He does, like he was having fun. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he was having fun after last year. Also, he wasn't
Speaker 4: just like, oh, you guys enjoy Nah, he's enjoying it.
Speaker 2: Do you remember your visit? How you can? Of course? Oh,
Speaker 2: tell us about it? Of course, you know, there's not
Speaker 2: really much to tell, you know.
Speaker 4: You you know, you have a host.
Speaker 2: Shae Ralf was my host. Is that correct? I think
Speaker 2: that's correct.
Speaker 4: And but you spend time with everybody, You're never you know,
Speaker 4: cause we kind of I'm sure you guys are the same.
Speaker 4: You roll pretty tight, and so you're with the whole team.
Speaker 2: They're taking you to some classes like oh, this is
Speaker 2: what your day would be like, you go.
Speaker 4: To practice, you watch him practice. I was there with
Speaker 4: I went on my visit with this other player, Lindsay
Speaker 4: Amasaki and then Asia Jones, so it was like the
Speaker 4: three of us on our visit and I remember at
Speaker 4: the end of it, you know, you go.
Speaker 2: To coach's house.
Speaker 4: That's the last stop, so your visit's over, and then
Speaker 4: you go to his house for like whatever breakfast lunch
Speaker 4: before you take off, and that's when he like takes
Speaker 4: you into like a private room and he has his
Speaker 4: like this is his final play, you know, He's like,
Speaker 4: all right, this is it? Like we were saying what
Speaker 4: do you think? And I didn't commit on the spot.
Speaker 4: Some some players fall into that. I didn't fall into that.
Speaker 4: I didn't commit. But when Asia and I were saying goodbye,
Speaker 4: she was she kind of looked at me. She's like,
Speaker 4: I think I'm coming here?
Speaker 2: Are you coming here? And I was like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: probably coming here. That's funny. What is your favorite CD memory?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: God, CD memory? I don't know if my favorite. I
Speaker 2: can't tell you on camera. How sad is that?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Wait, actually want to change that. What's your favorite CD memory?
Speaker 2: From being a player and then to being an alum
Speaker 2: to being alone? Man, my favorite ones are aren't She'll
Speaker 2: kill me if I tell. Okay, I'm really approved favorite.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we definitely we played this is like my
Speaker 4: least favorite. We played in the pantyhose era. Everybody knows
Speaker 4: about the pantyhose era. When you know, a lot of
Speaker 4: times we have to dress up when we go out
Speaker 4: to dinner or when we travel or whatever the case.
Speaker 4: And if you wore a skirt or a dress or
Speaker 4: any kind of you know, leg revealing outfit. She forced
Speaker 4: us to wear pantyhose. It was like a rule. So
Speaker 4: that's my least favorite memory. I know that rule no
Speaker 4: longer exists, so you're welcome.
Speaker 2: Because we must have thank you, thank you pioneer anytime
Speaker 2: you went through it, so I didn't have to yep, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so that's my least favorite.
Speaker 4: So, I mean we all had like clear nail polish
Speaker 4: on deck because there was no way these things weren't running,
Speaker 4: you know, like that's like the hack if they run.
Speaker 2: Okay, actually I have heard that was what I said.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what you're talking about, but I
Speaker 2: have paid that before. Man, I'm really dating myself here. God,
Speaker 2: my favorite I think just like, oh, there was one
Speaker 2: where let me.
Speaker 4: Think about a favorite. Guys, this is tough. They're all
Speaker 4: embarrassing for her. Let me think, let me think, let
Speaker 4: me think. I don't know if I have any that
Speaker 4: aren't embarrassing, she'll kill me. So I'm just gonna leave
Speaker 4: that panty hose.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, that's perfect because we got to keep her
Speaker 2: and your good graces so she can come on your bad.
Speaker 2: So exactly, did you guys have CD games? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Oh so this has been going on for like all
Speaker 2: forty one years. Oh for sure.
Speaker 4: Actually, you know, one of my favorite CD memories is
Speaker 4: we were in the NCAA tournament. I want to say
Speaker 4: we were in Pittsburgh. It was like a regional and
Speaker 4: so this is actually one of my favorites. She did
Speaker 4: a scavenger Hunt game that was honestly like so elite.
Speaker 4: She gave us disposable cameras and we had to like
Speaker 4: go around the city and get different pictures with different
Speaker 4: It was like go find two people with a mullet.
Speaker 2: It was like all this we had to go. One
Speaker 2: of them was.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget this because we were walking distance to
Speaker 4: the arena. It was like go take a picture with
Speaker 4: someone from another team that like we were about to
Speaker 4: play in the regional.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was like one of.
Speaker 4: The like most legit elite scavenger Hunt games I've ever played.
Speaker 4: And then basically we got it all developed and we
Speaker 4: had to like put it on this like map and
Speaker 4: then obviously you know whoever got the most points. But yeah,
Speaker 4: oh she's been doing games and like morning walks and
Speaker 4: all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh yeah, for forever, I'm gonna have to request
Speaker 2: a fun scavenger Hunt game that sounds like a good one.
Speaker 2: It really was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you had like teams of you know, two or
Speaker 4: three people each, so it's a couple of teams and
Speaker 4: you just like took over the city trying to find
Speaker 4: like all this different stuff.
Speaker 2: It was really fun. Wow, I'm so impressed. I don't
Speaker 2: have to talk about her. Talk to her about this later.
Speaker 2: CdSe games are legendary, like everyone talks. They truly are,
Speaker 2: Like I wish everyone could experience at least one CD game.
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: CD needs to take this on the road, you know,
Speaker 1: after Yukon, whenever she's done, because I want to play. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Sue, let's talk about your transition from Yukon into
Speaker 1: the pros. What was some of the hardest lessons you
Speaker 1: learned in transitioning from college to the WNBA.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, honestly, just the losing right away. You're
Speaker 4: losing way more than you ever lost in your whole life, probably,
Speaker 4: and that's a learning lesson.
Speaker 2: I remember, I've told this story before.
Speaker 4: It's like we lost our very first game and I'm
Speaker 4: like coming to the locker room like mad, I'm like,
Speaker 4: what the fuck you know all this stuff? So I'm
Speaker 4: coming to the locker room like pissed off, not throwing shit,
Speaker 4: but like I'm mad, and I look around and everybody
Speaker 4: else on my team is just.
Speaker 2: Like yo, where you want to go to dinner tonight?
Speaker 4: Like life just moves on, and very quickly you realize
Speaker 4: you can't get like crazy with the losses because there's
Speaker 4: just going to be so many of them and if
Speaker 4: you let them get to you, you'll never be able
Speaker 4: to play the next game. So that was probably the
Speaker 4: biggest adjustment. I felt like Yukon does get you ready,
Speaker 4: Like you're going to be ready physically, you're going to
Speaker 4: be ready mentally. Of course, there's different adjustments, like you know,
Speaker 4: everybody's older. You're playing against like legit grown ass women
Speaker 4: now who are old or smarter. They know how to
Speaker 4: like manipulate you out there. So there's like adjustments there,
Speaker 4: but those ones you just like figure out.
Speaker 2: As you go. The one that was really hard was
Speaker 2: the losing. The losing was tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, what advice do you have
Speaker 1: for az as she's you know, going to start beginning
Speaker 1: her transition to the pros.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, first and foremost, enjoy this last season.
Speaker 4: You know, I feel like there's there are a couple
Speaker 4: moments where it's cliche to say, like make sure you're
Speaker 4: soaking it all in, but this is one of those
Speaker 4: moments where you know it's your last.
Speaker 2: Right, sometimes we don't know what's going to happen. You
Speaker 2: know it's your last year.
Speaker 4: So I think you can definitely take a couple of
Speaker 4: moments here and there and just kind of look around
Speaker 4: and enjoy it all because it's interesting. Like I would say,
Speaker 4: when I look back on college, it's some of the
Speaker 4: best years of my life, so much fun. You don't
Speaker 4: have to worry about anything. I mean, you have to
Speaker 4: worry about school a little bit, but you don't have
Speaker 4: worry about anything else. But like your teammates, basketball, your friends,
Speaker 4: you get to have fun.
Speaker 2: It's really nothing like it.
Speaker 4: And at the same time, once you become a pro,
Speaker 4: you don't really crave college years because you're a kid.
Speaker 4: You're now like an adult and there's something really exciting
Speaker 4: about that. So I think for you and your adjustment,
Speaker 4: just you don't have to don't think about it yet.
Speaker 2: It's going to come. It's going to come.
Speaker 4: You don't have to worry about it. You're already prepared
Speaker 4: for it. You're going to be preparing for it this
Speaker 4: whole year, so really just enjoy now.
Speaker 2: That's definitely my main goal is to enjoy everything about
Speaker 2: this year, my teammates, the coaches. Like you said, there
Speaker 2: is stuff you need to worry about, but we really
Speaker 2: truly are in a little bubble here and you can't
Speaker 2: take that for granted. Yeah, it's nice. It's a nice life.
Speaker 1: Next, we have to step buds talking about all things
Speaker 1: sliding into the d m s and when I tell you,

Speaker 1: pains for clarity on the profile picture pressure pack on
Speaker 1: profile number two?
Speaker 2: Got them?
Speaker 1: You can be super duper aggressive, but nine times out
Speaker 1: of ten, most of the baddies don't even be aggressive.
Speaker 2: They want to be so cute and simple in the
Speaker 2: DM soft. Yes, it don't even be soft.
Speaker 5: It's just to be like lame, like hey, or like
Speaker 5: cutie or like emosies like baddies don't send much because
Speaker 5: they know they bad not too much.
Speaker 2: They don't. I'm they they don't playing bro. They have
Speaker 2: a master. They know what they don't do and say
Speaker 2: because they know they don't got to do or say
Speaker 2: too much. Period, that's who. And number three I would
Speaker 2: say three in my d MS. Mm hm, you want
Speaker 2: me to tell the truth. Yes, you gotta be gay.

Speaker 2: Three gay, thank you?
Speaker 1: And the throat of my period, no questions, and you
Speaker 1: don't have a chance with me. Hey, you have a
Speaker 1: chance to go onto the next show. Thanks by the
Speaker 1: stuff buds.
Speaker 2: Send DMS. This segment of Committed to Care, Women, Health
Speaker 2: and Sports is presented by United Healthcare. All right, let's
Speaker 2: talk about something that does not get enough love. Recovery.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I know, it's not sexy, it's not viral. No one's
Speaker 2: making a mixtape of great ice bath moments. There's no
Speaker 2: top ten recovery plays on Sports Center. Nobody's making a
Speaker 2: big fuss to their friends about their favorite athletes. Elite
Speaker 2: hydration but if you know, you know, because recovery is
Speaker 2: the reason you're able to keep showing up. You don't
Speaker 2: always notice it in the moment, but it's the difference
Speaker 2: between having that extra little bit at the end of
Speaker 2: the game or not. Everybody loves the bucket, the win,
Speaker 2: the moment where we can all say let's go, But
Speaker 2: what people don't see is everything that happens after, when
Speaker 2: your body's like, hey, so about what you just did
Speaker 2: to me. And this is where a lot of athletes
Speaker 2: get it wrong, because every athlete learned is at some
Speaker 2: point you can't fake recovery. You can pretend you're all good,
Speaker 2: you can say I'm fine, you can convince yourself you're ready,
Speaker 2: but your body will absolutely snitch on you later every time.
Speaker 2: And that's where the gap really shows up, because recovery
Speaker 2: isn't the same for everyone, and for women athletes in particular,
Speaker 2: it hasn't always been fully understood, fully prioritized, or built
Speaker 2: specifically for how our bodies actually work. So what happens
Speaker 2: You miss the small things, You rush the process, you
Speaker 2: don't fully reset, and that's when recovery turns into injury risk.
Speaker 2: That's when something that could have manage early turns into
Speaker 2: something that keeps you out. Recovery isn't separate from injury prevention.
Speaker 2: It's a huge part of it, and it only works
Speaker 2: if you actually have the right support around you, because
Speaker 2: behind every athlete, and I mean every athlete, there's a
Speaker 2: whole team. Coaches, trainers, strength staff, nutrition, people paying attention
Speaker 2: to details that you don't even think about. Even the
Speaker 2: girls I play with make recovery possible. Sitting in an
Speaker 2: ice back next to Sarah, hitting the sauna with Calice
Speaker 2: and KK make getting the rest of our bodies need
Speaker 2: more fun and less like a chore. The best teams
Speaker 2: don't just show up, They communicate. They know what you need,
Speaker 2: when you need it, and how to adjust before something
Speaker 2: becomes a bigger problem. That's what's been missing in a
Speaker 2: lot of places, especially when it comes to women's health.
Speaker 2: Not enough personalization or attention to how our bodies actually respond,
Speaker 2: not enough support built specifically around those needs. Recovery approaches
Speaker 2: were built around male athletes, with women expected to just adapt.
Speaker 2: That kind of recovery doesn't take it consideration, hormones, training cycles,
Speaker 2: energy levels. The list goes on, and we're learning more
Speaker 2: and more every Day. That's why I partnered with United
Speaker 2: health Care to help highlight those gaps and push toward
Speaker 2: a better way of supporting women's health because United Healthcare
Speaker 2: is focused on helping connect people with care that's built
Speaker 2: around them, Support that helps you catch things earlier, understand
Speaker 2: what your body needs, and take the right steps before
Speaker 2: something becomes a bigger issue, not just reacting, but helping
Speaker 2: with prevention because timing matters here too, catching something early,
Speaker 2: getting the right support at the right moment, take the
Speaker 2: right steps in recovery before something becomes a bigger issue.
Speaker 2: That's what keeps you out there because when you actually
Speaker 2: take care of your body and you have the right
Speaker 2: support to do it, you're not just recovering, you're protecting
Speaker 2: your ability to keep playing. So take care of yourself,
Speaker 2: actually take care of yourself, and remember you don't have
Speaker 2: to figure it out all alone. You're not supposed to.
Speaker 2: This segment is presented by United health Care. United Healthcare Committed.
Speaker 1: To And finally, we have our funding Game segment with
Speaker 1: KK Arnold, who joined us for our Fashion Week debrief

Speaker 2: out immediately. You can keep my stuff too. I don't
