In our last episode before the Olympics begin, Kristi talks to Team USA Field Hockey player Ally Hammel. Ally tells us about the fascinating ways field hockey is always evolving, the differences and similarities between its sister sport on the ice, and how it transforms from high school to collegiate and international levels. Having competed everywhere from India to Chile, Ally shares what it sounds like in a stadium when you’re playing a team in their home country. 

We also hear how her team’s culture of balance and joy has created space for success, the importance of having a plan, and why she tries to learn something new every day - on and off the pitch. 

Plus: Kristi’s counting down to Paris with gelato and trivia in Italy.
