Greg and Dan talk with Coach Pop of Bradley University, along with two standout hometown stars, Mya Wardle and Claire McDougal: two of the best players on Bradley’s Women’s Basketball team. They share their excitement as the season starts off September 23rd and talk about what they’re most looking forward to this year.

Coach Pop reflects on the importance of building a strong team culture, emphasizing peace, relationships, and unity on and off the court. She explains why she prefers to talk about standards rather than expectations, believing that standards create accountability and success, while expectations often set the stage for failure.

Mya and Claire open up about the balance between pressure and support as athletes, while also highlighting their academic journeys as Sports Communication majors.
