Episode 37 — Rising Above: A Champion’s Journey On and Off the Court

In this episode, I sit down with a powerhouse: a professional women’s basketball player who just won the 2025–2026 Women’s League Championship and is now representing our country on the world stage. What makes her story even more incredible? She’s only 18/19 years old — a true rising star already making her mark. On top of that, she’s also a university student — balancing lectures, assignments, and exams with the intense grind of pro sports.

We start by diving into her daily and weekly routines, where basketball is always at the center but studying sneaks in between practices, late-night workouts, and team travels. She’s still adjusting to student life, which makes her story even more relatable and inspiring. And not only can she dominate in traditional 5x5 games, but she also shines in 3x3 basketball — a rare skill that sets her apart.

One of the most powerful parts of our conversation is her journey through injury and recovery. She opens up about the exact moment she got the news, the heartbreak of stepping away from the court, the surgery, and the long healing process. Hearing how she handled it — physically, mentally, and spiritually — is raw and moving. You can almost feel what it was like for her to lace up again and take that first step back onto the court.

From there, we flow into the other layers of her life — love, mental health, relationships, and the environment she’s building around herself. It’s not just about basketball; it’s about resilience, identity, and carving out your own path as a young woman chasing big dreams.

This episode is a mix of grit, vulnerability, and inspiration. I think you’ll feel every bit of her energy and honesty.
