We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Olympic Gold-Medalist and captain of the U.S. Women’s National Team, Kendall Coyne-Schofield. Kendall’s brand “Evolving” speaks to her journey as an emerging leader in women’s ice hockey. Kendall talks about her path through Chicago youth hockey to college hockey to international competition. We then discuss Kendall’s impact on the game and how past leaders of USA Hockey  prepared her to become the face of the present. We’re so excited for this episode and can’t wait for you to listen!

We’re thrilled to bring Sheena Lawrick on the podcast this week. A two-time Olympian for the Canadian softball team, Sheena is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to discussing health and performance. Her brand, a complexion of two well known phrases, (1% and extraordinary) gives insight into her lifestyle mentality.

On episode 35, Alicia Scarpa brings a new insight to Harvard Women’s Hockey through the operations perspective. Alicia is a new addition to the Harvard staff, so she talks about how her “Growth” mindset propelled her to become Director of Hockey Operations in her second season with the team. Tune in to hear more about how growth happens outside of one's comfort zone, what Alicia has missed the most about the season, and what's in store for Alicia in her NEW position.

We’re back and we welcome former teammate, Bradley Fusco, on the podcast this week! As our listeners will see, Bradley is an extremely motivated, consistent, and down-to-earth individual. Her brand, “Cup of Coffee” is a testament to her steadiness, positivity, and sociability. Tune in to hear more about growing up in a family of Harvard Hockey legends, embracing your ever-changing role on a team, and navigating a relationship with a professional athlete.

We make TBBP a family affair this episode by inviting Anne's uncle, Chris Phelan. Chris is a professor of economics at the University of Minnesota. Chris’s brand “Don’t be a Wimp” is a reflection of his own methodology in conducting his daily life. We talk a bit about Chris’s path into academia and how generally one goes about pursuing a profession in a specified research field. We then move on to the highlights from one of the courses Chris taught this past year about COVID economics and trends he foresees (or doesn’t foresee) sticking around past the pandemic. Lastly we talk about Chris’s experience running the Boston Marathon during the Boston bombing. 

We’re thrilled to have 4-time Olympian, Jennifer Botterill, join us for episode 32 of the podcast. A Harvard Hockey phenomenon, we spend time discussing Jennifer’s collegiate career as well as what she’s accomplished since graduating (namely her involvement in the PWHPA and sports broadcasting). As our listeners will discover, Jennifer’s brand, “Pursuit of Excellence”, is very apt given her distinguished career and constant ability to excel in various facets of life.

In this episode we welcome close friends, Lara Schenk and Kara Xie. Lara and Kara are Anne’s college roommates so you’re in for a fun episode! Lara’s brand “Unstoppable” is very fitting for those who know her - we dive a bit into Lara’s soccer career in her home country of Germany and her professional soccer aspirations. Kara’s brand “double trouble” is a nod to her twin sister. We get into the intricacies of being a twin and how each sister’s identity blossoms both together and apart.
