UCLA’s Cori Close stops by the party for a powerful conversation on coaching hearts, building culture, finding “the edge,” and why mindset and connection matter more than ever. She opens up about the Texas loss, the response her team showed in Vegas, and the lessons she still carries from her years with Coach John Wooden — plus we’re hitting all the biggest stories in women’s sports this week, from the PWHL’s record-breaking Seattle debut to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Final Four being set, dominant NCAA XC championship performances, a historic NWSL Final, and more party buzz from across the sports world.
