No Advice Possible

The postseason is calling, and things are starting to heat up! We break down a huge weekend of NCAA hockey, with conference titles, tournament spots and seeding all up for grabs. We dive into the newly announced FIH Star Awards, debate the influence of World Cup performances on this year's winners, and unpack what the NCAA’s new eight-team seeding format means for the road to the national championship.

Feeling a little lost with everything happening in the NCAA right now? Don't worry, we've got you covered! We'll break it all down, make sense of the postseason picture and hopefully save you from having to figure it out yourself (it certainly helped Jill!). We're officially entering crunch time, and there's plenty to unpack!

Two-time national champion, three-time First-Team All-American, Honda Award winner… and apparently the NCAA couldn't forsee another season without her.

We’re joined by UNC and USA Field Hockey star Ryleigh Heck to catch up on all things NCAA field hockey, get into some red card moments, and talk about the eligibility battle that put her fifth year in question. Ryleigh opens up about navigating the uncertainty, what it means to challenge the NCAA, and the people who have helped her through it.

Plus, we get beyond the headlines with career-defining moments, life after UNC, and a rapid-fire round you won’t want to miss.

The Mid-season review is here! Maryland takes over No. 1, Duke tumbles, UNC suffers a shock loss, and Ashley Sessa is simply too good. We’re recapping all the action from the NCAA, Hockey One, Hoofdklasse, and Spain’s REFH league, before handing out our mid-season awards — from villain edits to silent assassins and transfer portal heartbreak. Plus, Jenny and Jill check in on their fantasy teams and we preview the must-watch matchups ahead. Still No Advice Possible, just lots of hot takes.

This week on No Advice Possible, we’re joined by three special guests from Chile’s national team: midfielders Agus Solano and Antonia Morales Orchard, and goalkeeper Natalia Salvador!

We chat about life playing in Spain’s national hockey league, the differences between hockey cultures, the realities of being an international athlete, and the growth of hockey in Chile. Plus, we reflect on the legacy of Claudia Schüler, share personal stories, and wrap things up with some rapid-fire questions!

Maryland is 10–0, and we’re joined by Terps captain and First-Team All-American Josie Holloman!

Josie talks about Maryland’s undefeated start, the wild Princeton shootout, playing alongside her younger sister Jordyn, and what makes this Maryland team so special. We also get her take on the biggest storylines in college field hockey, UNC’s returning stars, the NCAA landscape, and which teams the Terps have their eyes on.

And most importantly, we dedicate this episode to the memory of Lauren Burke-Smith and the lasting impact she had on the field hockey community.

The NCAA field hockey season is getting messy. We break down the biggest games and storylines from the weekend, including UNC falling out of the NFHCA Coaches Poll for the first time in program history—but the biggest conversation is the NCAA lawsuit that allowed three UNC fifth-years to return for another season. What does the ruling actually mean, why doesn’t it apply equally across every school and team, and what could it mean for UNC’s season? We’re getting into all of it.

Plus: Iowa’s wild weekend of playing Indiana twice, questionable college scheduling, and a few teams remain undefeated. Then we head overseas to talk Australia's H1, Spain’s RFEH, the English Investec Premier League, and the Hoofdeklasse before asking the big question: could an international-style field hockey league actually work in America?

UMass is 6–0 and up to No. 6! This week on Red Card Moments, we break down UMass’ huge win over No. 3 Harvard, chat with junior midfielder and English/Scottish international Cara Falconer about the Minutewomen’s hot start, and put Jenny & Jill head-to-head in a fantasy team draft. Plus, the biggest games and storylines heading into conference play!

The World Cup is officially in the books, and we’ve got plenty to talk about. Argentina are World Champions, the U.S. finished 10th, the cards and umpiring gave us A LOT to discuss, and now we fill the void with college hockey.

Jenny and Jill break down the biggest moments from the World Cup before turning their attention to the NCAA season, including Maryland’s hot start, UNC’s surprising struggles, Iowa’s emergence, Harvard’s rise, and whether the Big Ten is officially taking over the ACC.

Tune in to red cards and talk around the beginning of a very competitive NCAA Field Hockey season.

No Advice Possible is back! Jenny and Jill are joined by USAWNT forward Sanne Caarls for a World Cup kickoff packed with hockey, predictions, and plenty of opinions.

We preview Team USA and the biggest World Cup storylines, break down major NCAA rule and eligibility changes, talk Hoofdklasse and Americans playing overseas, and get Sanne’s perspective on Dutch hockey.

Plus, Red Card Moments, USA Masters, World Cup predictions, and a rapid-fire round with Sanne.

Tune in and let us know your World Cup + NCAA predictions!

On this episode of No Advice Possible, we’re talking all things food and fueling with Rachel Pfister, nutritionist for the U.S. Women’s National Team through the United States Performance Center. We chat about the biggest fueling mistakes athletes make, underfueling in female athletes, nutrition and the menstrual cycle, and why carbs are nothing to be afraid of.

Rachel also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like working with elite athletes—and how, sometimes, being a sports nutritionist means being part nutrition expert, part therapist, and part problem solver.

And, of course, we kick things off with this week’s Red Card Moments. Did you miss us?
