    No. 167: James Janssen on Davidson & College Hoops

    No. 167: James Janssen on Davidson & College Hoops

    We’re grateful to have James Janssen return to the pod, after joining us briefly for our 150th episode, we wanted to hear more from the Aussie Assistant Coach of the Davidson ‘Wildcats’ Women’s team from North Carolina. 

    He takes us deep into their program, including the pipeline of exceptional Aussie female hooper's that are becoming hallmarks of the Wildcats. 

    It’s a fascinating look into the significant progress of Davidsons women’s basketball program over the last decade, one which James has been integral to, but especially against the unprecedented rise of Women's College Hoops. 

    In a difficult development since this podcast was taped earlier in February, Davidson has announced their withdrawal from the season to provide optimal care and support to their players and staff in what’s been a season of devastating loss from injuries… notwithstanding their impressive game results. 

    Highlighting the incredible high and lows that athletes face, it’s clear that Davidson has prioritised the well-being of its student athletes and as James prophetically talks about in this episode - the importance for organisations and athletes to be intentional in self-care and the need sometimes to step back and evaluate. 

    Enjoy!

    No. 166: Rachel Taulelei - Tokomanawa Queens ‘Wāhine Toa’

    In this Dream Chasers episode, Kiwi Hoops expert Linden Moore is back featuring special guest Rachel Taulelei - the co-owner of the Aotearoa Wellington team Tokomanawa Queens.

    In a wide-ranging conversation with Rachel in her prominent role at the Queens and within the NZ business landscape, she gives us a front row seat to the incredible opportunity for women’s hoops in NZ that has come to life! In only their second season the Queens were recognised as Best Club of the Year, Best Game presentation and Best Social Media!

    We gain an insight into the culture of the Tokomanawa Queens, their spirit of reciprocity ‘aroha atu, aroha mai’ that sits at the centre of this community. As well as the vision around the development of younger players including the Foundation inspired by her daughter Lily’s US College journey… that like all things Tokomanawa - revolve around Whānau.

    A reigning WNBL Champ; Loz is having a stellar season that has literally kept the team in the hunt! A part of this seasons MVP conversation she returns to STB in a fun chat that's equal parts entertaining and enlightening.

    We’re always grateful to Loz for sharing her vulnerability, her evolution as a player and her growing confidence back on home turf that’s boosted her performance along with her joy of the game!

    It’s a timely conversation leading into this weekend’s blockbuster event at Qudos Arena - the first WNBL standalone arena game for women’s hoops in NSW with an epic showdown between the Sydney Flames and the Southside Flyers in an important match up before playoffs!
