## Resource

Our Coaches Corner series continues this week with another guest interviewer — our friend Anthony is back to interview UCLA head coach Janelle McDonald! UCLA put itself back in national title contention last season by winning its first Big Ten Championship title with the highest score in Big Ten Championship history, and by finishing as the national runner-up at the NCAA Championship. This season, the Bruins are eager to prove that the top of the rankings is where they belong, and they are bringing in one of the top freshman classes in the country to help them get there. Janelle joins us to share insights on her team and preview the upcoming season.
