    Marena Whittle

    What a lovely couple of chats with Basketball Spokeswoman and one of Australia's finest, Marena Whittle.  A diamond in the rough, she's truly one of a kind.  A contagious personality, Marena lives life with gusto, on and off the court.  You can find her on the 3x3 circuit, playing in Europe or currently playing in Hungary.  From Melbourne, went to college at North Dakota State University and continues to travel the world while figuring out how to pursue a degree in Law.  All my respects.

    Jolene Anderson

    Just a small town girl from Port Wing, Wisconsin, doing her thing out on the court, getting paid for something she doesn't even view as a job, and she's been doing it for 16 years! Humble, genuine, funny, Jolene Anderson is a great basketball player, person and student.  I had a great time getting to know one of my former Big Ten rivals and learning about her hobbies and interests, for example, Champ, her Toy Poodle.

    Leonie Fiebich

    A German great, Leonie is young and accomplished.  She's a star on the German National team and there's no doubt in my mind we'll be seeing much more of Leo in the near future, possibly in Paris at the Summer Olympics and maybe even in New York with the Liberty.  Leo has a great attitude, a competitors mentality and a soft spot for coffee and German chocolate.

    Rachel Howard

    Rachel is a 7 year pro out of the University of San Fransisco.  What's the secret sauce to her success?  Easy, professionalism, hard work and R.E.S.P.E.C.T.  In a relaxed and genuine conversation, Rachel shares a little bit about her journey on and off the court, her family, her love for music, croquetas and her home State of California. Enjoy!

    Armantina Santiago Aizpuru

    Una gozada de conversación con Armantina Santiago Aizpuro.  Inteligente, sabia y sobre todo, con un sentido de humor espléndido. Nacida en los 60, abogada y jugadora profesional de basket en los 80, viajera del mundo, amante de las películas de Almodóvar, amiga de muchos y muchas, una trailblazer if I ever saw one.  A disfrutar de las historias de Manti, que tiene unas cuantas.

    Jaycee Carroll

    In Madrid, Spain Jaycee Carroll is well known and loved by many.  10 years playing for Real Madrid, ten years being one of the best 3pt shooters in the league and in Europe. He led the ACB (Spain's top Men's league) in scoring for two straight seasons, 2009-2011, he was named the best foreign player by Gigantes magazine, he won the 3pt contest twice and a long etcetera.  His journey to the top is like no other. 40 ppg as a senior in high school and no scholarship offers?  17 years later and he's a 2 time Euroleague Champ with one of the best teams in Europe, Real Madrid, but there's so much more to Jaycee besides basketball.  Enjoy.
