Description

Time Out is where women's basketball meets real talk for sports families.

Host Ashley Antoine — women's basketball media personality, athlete branding strategist, and sports mom raising an elite hooper — covers girls hoops from high school to EYBL to college to the pros. The watchlist. The rising stars. The coaching stories. The game breakdowns. If you want to stay plugged into where the game is heading, Time Out is your spot.


But Time Out is more than basketball analysis. It's also the show Ashley wished existed when her own daughter started playing at the elite level and the family was figuring it all out in real time.


Every week, Ashley sits down with the people IN the trenches — players, parents, coaches, college recruiters, brand experts, mental performance coaches — and has the honest version of the conversation. About recruiting. About NIL. About mental health. About injuries and recovery. About the sacrifice, the money, the pressure, and the joy. About the parts of this journey nobody puts in the highlight reel.


No script. No PR voice. Just the truth of what it actually takes.


Whether you're a fan of the game, a sports parent in the thick of it, an athlete chasing the dream, or a coach pouring into the next generation — pull up a seat. This one's for you.


New episodes every week. Hit follow so you don't miss one.

The odds are brutal: in Louisiana, only about 1 in 220 senior girls signs D1. So what actually moves a talented kid from “good” to scholarship-level? Carl Antoine Jr. and Chris Desdunes get honest about the numbers, the sacrifice, and the development most families miss long before exposure ever matters. Carl breaks down why family buy-in is nonnegotiable, how his own daughter’s journey changed after being cut at 9, and why practice in the driveway and on the concrete can matter more than exp...

Ep. 7 Broken Promises

2026-08-1145:36

This isn't your normal conversation. This is the side of the game that seldom gets talked about. This week on The Parent Seat, Carl Antoine sits down with Isiah Stevens — father of Isiah Stevens Jr., a 6'1" point guard out of New Orleans who prepped at Shaun Dumas Academy and later starred at Crescent City Christian, where he helped lead the team to a state championship. But the road to get there was anything but smooth. Isiah pulls back the curtain on broken promises in the basketball world ...
What does it look like to uproot your entire family — leave a small town, chase exposure, and bet on your daughter's dream? This week on Time Out, I sat down with Latisha — a mom of four, rooted in faith, and building a family legacy through sports. Latisha and her family moved from Houston, to a small town, and now reside in Dallas to give their daughter the opportunity and visibility she needed. But this conversation goes deeper than basketball — it's about what legacy looks like insi...
What does it really look like to navigate travel basketball as a family — from rec league to the EYBL circuit to a Division 1 roster? This week on Time Out, Carl Antoine sits down with Chris Desdunes — father of Chikae Desdunes, a freshman guard at Rutgers University. Chris raised a top-51 player in the country out of New Orleans, navigated the travel ball world, supported his daughter's move to DME Academy, and walked through a decommitment when coaching changes flipped her recruitment...
Nutrition might be the most overlooked piece of athlete development. This week on Time Out, Ashley sits down with Jessica Isaacs — a sports nutritionist with experience at USC Athletics and the LA Clippers — to break down what proper fueling actually looks like for young athletes playing at a high level. From game-day meals to tournament grab-and-go options, injury recovery nutrition, hydration, and the simplest changes families can make right now — Jessica brings the expertise every sports f...
