From Name to Game: The Azzi Story

Description

With Azzi away tearing it up in the tournament, Ashanti is joined by two special guests — Azzi’s mom Katie Fudd and basketball legend Jennifer Azzi — for a conversation that connects generations of the game. They get into the story behind Azzi’s name, how Katie’s experience as a player shaped the way she raised and coached her, and what it’s been like watching Azzi grow into her own career. The episode also dives into parenting athletes, building discipline over time, and what it really takes to develop at a high level — from early habits to staying consistent when progress isn’t immediate. Jennifer shares her perspective on the evolution of the game, her own journey from Tennessee to Stanford, and what she sees in Azzi’s game today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
