Very fun podcast with Caroline. Alot of stuff I had no idea about
On episode No.44 of The unTITLED Podcast, Shannon is joined by Caroline Doty. Caroline won three National Championships while playing under legendary coach Geno Auriemma at The University of Connecticut. She then moved out to Portland, Oregon to work for NIKE, where she has been for the last eight years until recently being announced as the latest hire on former UConn assistant Marisa Moseley's staff at the University of Wisconsin. They start their conversation with Caroline talking about her final project at NIKE: the WNBA jerseys that recently dropped to immense praise, and her recent trip to the Women's Final Four (1:45); We then talk about the coaching experience she has acquired since leaving Storrs and how she came to be the latest member of Marisa Moseley's staff; from her initial move out to Oregon without a job, to finding her circle, to working with kids and the reflection that living through the COVID-19 pandemic offered her over the past year (9:44); Caroline then shares how battling back through three ACL tears opened up a new world for her seeing the game from strictly the sideline for the first time (19:18); And reflects on what a unique period she was at UConn, with her career intersecting two of the greatest players in program history and Women's Basketball: Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart (29:51); We then hit on a few topics, including what excites her about working with Marisa Mosely, her thoughts on her fellow UConn #5 Paige Bueckers, she offers advice in our "For The Girls" segment, and defines "Womanhood In 3 Words" (38:04); Before telling the story of the matching tattoo she has with Stephanie Dolson, her go-to cheesesteak place in her hometown of Philly, the madness at the Portland Thorns home opener that she got to see in person and some final thoughts on NIKE's approach to the new WNBA jerseys (47:04); We close out the podcast with the 44th edition of "Player Voicemail" (59:32).
