## Resource

This week Sue welcomes Lauren Betts to the pod, coming off her historic NCAA championship with UCLA. Lauren talks about defining herself by more than just basketball, why her Mystics coach Sydney Johnson has dad vibes, and what it meant to play with her sister Sienna. And on “Sue’s View,” Sue breaks down the Toronto Tempo’s strong start, and how the Dallas Wings responded to coach Jose Fernandez’s controversial post-game remarks. Bird’s Eye View is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR.
