    Lifting curses & teams: Michael Jones on his Western volleyball career, not jinxing matches and playing for Team Jamaica

    Michael Jones didn't just play volleyball at Western — he built a reputation, chased Olympic dreams and spent his summers learning the NBA from the inside. In episode three of Suns Out Stangs Out, the men's volleyball alumnus joins us to reflect on his Mustangs career and the team curse that haunted the program until spring 2025. He takes us to the summer of 2023, when he represented Jamaica at the Paris 2024 Olympic qualification tournament. And beyond the court, Michael opens up about his studies at the Ivey Business School, and his three summers as an NBA Summer League intern and what that path has taught him about life after sports. It's a wide-ranging conversation about competition, identity, and figuring out what comes next.
