    Two Roads Diverged w/ Twins: Ellie & Karen Seid

    Welcome to our 11th episode of Flat and Thru! Today, we have a unique and fun episode for you all. We chat with identical twins, Ellie and Karen Seid. Ellie and Karen played D1 field hockey and both graduated college in 2019. We excitedly jumped into the conversation about twins through the lens of sport, and we were eager to hear about their unique, shared experience of playing field hockey. Our episode covers their journey getting into field hockey together and playing together through middle school and high school until their paths diverged when they went to different universities. Ellie graduated from Brown University, and Karen graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. We dive into their individual recruiting processes, what they each wanted in a college, difficulties they faced being apart for the first time, lessons learned, and as always, we share a bunch of laughs. Enjoy!

Today, we have two guests from The College of William & Mary - first, Hillary Fitts, Assistant Field Hockey Coach, and second, the field hockey program’s S&C coach, Erich Murphy, who is also Head of Athletic Performance and Head Strength and Conditioning Coach.

We have a great discussion about the planning and organization put into the packet, load management and rest, and how hockey fits into all the weight-lifting and running. This episode will give you great insight on why it is beneficial to stick to the summer packet as best as you can because of the way it is purposefully designed.

    Inside Michigan Field Hockey w/ Ryan Langford

    Episode 8 on the 8th! Thanks for tuning in for another episode of Flat and Thru! We are excited to have Ryan Langford on the podcast today, Assistant Coach at the University of Michigan. They were BIG Ten Champs and the NCAA runner-up in this year’s unusual season (and as you know, Leslie’s alma mater). We start this episode with a peek into what DI athletics looked like during the fall and spring. We chat about the prep behind the uncommon format of this spring season - conference only play, COVID regulations, testing, etc. And then we dive into the topic of losing on such a big stage and how to move forward, channeling loss into motivation. Along the way, we talk a lot about Michigan field hockey and its culture which drove them to the National Championship game. Enjoy!

    Summer Hockey Events w/ Paul Caddy

    Welcome to our 7th episode of Flat and Thru! Today our guest is Paul Caddy, Head Coach of the legendary field hockey program at the University of Connecticut. We talk to him about the pros and cons of the many summer opportunities PSAs can choose from, and how much the summer playing opportunities have evolved over the last two decades. From attending a showcase as an individual or with a club to the traditional college summer camps, there are virtually playing events every weekend through the spring and summer. We hope this conversation with Paul gives PSAs the confidence to make informative decisions on what to attend, why, and how it will be most beneficial to their respective recruiting process. Enjoy!

    A Parent’s Role w/ Steffi Green and Bruce Smith

    Welcome back to episode 6 of Flat and Thru! After a brief break we are back with two truly special guests - Liv’s mom and Leslie’s dad. After the topic of parents being brought up in episodes 2 and 5, we thought this would be a great opportunity to bring on our parents to get their perspectives on the parent's role(s) in sport from HS all the way to college. We first talk with Liv’s mom, Steffi, more specifically about sideline etiquette and how she emotionally supported Liv and her siblings. And then, we chat with Leslie’s dad, Bruce, about logistics and balancing work, life and hockey schedules. We share a lot of laughs and memories with our parents, making us miss our playing days and even all those long drives to tournaments!
