Flat and Thru

WELCOME TO FLAT AND THRU! In this first episode, we introduce ourselves to you so that you can get to know your two hosts a little better. We touch on how we met and how this podcast idea came about. Then we dive into the similarities and differences in our recruiting and collegiate experiences, we reflect on our first field hockey memories, and we talk about our proudest accomplishments. We share where we are now in life, what to expect from this podcast, and what is in upcoming episodes of the show!

In episode 2, we jump right into conversation around recruiting during COVID with Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Northwestern University’s field hockey program, Will Byrne. We cover topics like what the “dead period” for Division 1 means, things PSAs can be doing in the recruiting process during this time, and general advice Will has for all the PSA’s out there. You don’t want to miss it!

Welcome to Flat and Thru! You are here with Liv Green and Leslie Smith and we are ready to dive into all things field hockey. We are going to be talking hockey on and off the field, including relationships we build, the triumphs and struggles we face, the lessons we learn along the way, and the process from the first time we pick up our stick until the last. We will be covering many, many topics with different coaches, support staff, graduated student-athletes and more. Welcome, we are so excited you're here!
