I’m sitting down with Brooke Riley, the assistant coach of the Stanford Women's Golf team, as she shares her experiences in the world of women’s amateur golf.

Listen in as Brooke talks about her unexpected start in the world of golf, sparked by a gift from her grandfather, and her transition from pro athlete to collegiate coach.

She delves into the Stanford team's meticulous preparation for the NCAA championship and the impact her high school coach's unwavering confidence had on her–a quality she now strives to instill in her own players.

Brooke reflects on the Augusta National, sharing her grandfather's legacy and how a chance encounter with a caddy sharing his name deepened her connection to the game.

We also discuss the ins-and-outs of amateur golf (and how it differs from professional golf), how golf manifests as a part of your identity as a woman, and the often-overlooked role of nutrition and well-being in a golfer's performance.
