This week we welcome Gabby Williams of the Seattle Storm to 'Bird's Eye View!' Aka the "French Army Knife."
Sue and Gabby discuss so much, including how Gabby began her athletic career as a track star - even competing in the Olympic Trials at the age of 15. They then discuss Gabby's career at UConn, playing for head coach Geno Auriemma, and what life lessons she learned from UConn's program.
They then dive into her professional journey, including getting drafted by the Chicago Sky and her suspension from the Sky a few years into her career. Gabby shares how playing in Europe was a real turning point for her, and explains her journey of getting the keys to the French National Team. She gets into all the details on "prioritization" and what she wants for the future of both WNBA and FIBA basketball. They also get into some real hoop talk about how Gabby can do it all on the basketball court before Gabby talks about the Seattle Storm's season.
Much more is discussed as well, you don't want to miss this episode!
