A future sports reporter in the making talks all things women's sports, college football, and life as I begin my journey as a college student. The main focus of this show will be women's soccer with the occasional insight into tennis, the WNBA, and gymnastics. Of course, my goal is to amplify women in sports so any big things will be talked about. The shift from high school to college is a crazy time and I want a place to document, discuss and share it with everyone so a little bit of each episode will be dedicated to that,
