Episode 6 of The Huddle dives into the real preparation behind the opportunity.

We’re joined by Brin Hultz as she breaks down her journey leading into the UpShot League—from training with intention to making key lifestyle changes that elevated her game.

We break down:
– What preparation really looks like before a big opportunity
– The discipline behind daily habits and routines
– How changing her diet helped her perform at a higher level
– Staying grounded in faith through uncertainty

This conversation is about doing the work before the spotlight ever hits.

Episode 5 of The Huddle taps into a side of women’s basketball that doesn’t always get the spotlight—but should.

We’re joined by Hypatia Sorunke, the creator of The Fitted W, who traveled to 12 cities, attended 50 WNBA games, and hand-developed over 1,200 photos to document the evolution of fan fashion and tunnel culture.

We break down:
– Why WNBA fashion feels different
– The storytelling behind what fans wear
– The cultural impact of documenting women’s sports in real time
– And how The Fitted W became bigger than just a photo book

If you care about the culture behind the game, this episode is for you!
