Show Notes
Azzi, Ashanti, and Jose are back together for a packed episode as Azzi enters her final week at UConn and prepares for the WNBA Draft. From packing up her life in Storrs to saying goodbye to teammates, routines, and the “cottage,” Azzi opens up about how fast everything is moving — and how little time there is to fully take it all in. They reflect on the end of the season, the emotions that come with playing your last college game, and the overwhelming support from family and friends that helped put everything in perspective. Azzi also shares what the transition to the pros really looks like — from draft night to immediately reporting to a new team just days later. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
