The Latest in WNBA CBA News, USC Star JuJu Watkins on Elevating Her Game PLUS NCAA Upsets

About this episode

JuJu Watkins discusses her recovery and game improvement, while the hosts cover WNBA CBA news and NCAA tournament upsets, featuring insights from Robin Arzón on body positivity and vegan nutrition.

JuJu Watkins, USC’s superstar shooting guard, joins us to talk about how she’s been keeping busy and improving her game while she recuperates from her ACL tear. No news is bad news in WNBA land, but we still give a quick update on the CBA negotiations as we all hold our breath for a good outcome. On the NCAA front, Sue breaks down the upsets coming out of the SEC tournament and their impacts on Selection Sunday, which has been called the “stickiest bubble in years.” Can USC pull through despite a few setbacks? And who will get the number one seed? And with the USWNT taking home the SheBelieves Cup, Megan reflects on seeing the different generations of US women’s soccer come together, and the remarkable current generation that is coalescing around a new core. Plus, we have a special guest: Robin Arzón tells us her philosophy on self-talk, how she maintains body positivity in the fitness industry, and how to get your protein as a vegan.
