    Great pod, great inside scoops and knowledgeable takes from pros. My fav part is when Rat talks over Hartz and is annoying to listen to…oh wait!🩷

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP44 | Kyle Hartzell Returns to the PLL at 40!
Q: How do you balance staying ready with not overdoing it at 40?
Three days of strength work with two days of speed/agility, plus cycling and mountain biking, keeps me in a position where I can be competitive without burning out.
EP44 | Kyle Hartzell Returns to the PLL at 40!
Q: What did practice feel like once you arrived, and how long did it take to feel comfortable?
It felt bizarre at first; I jumped into practice with no real expectation of rhythm, but the first touches and ground balls started to remind me of how I used to move, and that built confidence quickly.
EP44 | Kyle Hartzell Returns to the PLL at 40!
Q: What was that moment like when you got the call to come back and play again?
It was a mix of ego and doubt, but ultimately a clear commitment: I said yes, hopped on a plane, and trusted my preparation would carry me through the initial fear.
EP 16 OTH - Marcus Holman Joins the Show!
Q: What stood out to you from the NCAA tournament first round?
The matchups featured a mix of traditional powers showing resilience and mid-major programs making a statement, with coaching decisions and momentum shifts influencing the outcomes more than pure seeding would suggest.
EP19 OTH - Jared Bernhardt is back! Will Manny Interview. PLL weekend 1 recap.
Q: What did training camp feel like for you in terms of proving yourself, and how did you adjust to a new role within the Cannons?
Training camp required proving yourself amid many attackers; I adjusted by embracing a new off-ball role, communicating with teammates, and trusting coaching decisions. When the scrimmage didn't go well, I focused on resetting, staying present, and then performing better in the next session and the game.
