Ep. 7 - May Kotsopoulos | The People's Champ Podcast
May shares with us her basketball journey. From growing up outside of Toronto, to leading UVM to the NCAA tournament and upsetting Wisconsin, to the WNBA summer league, to finishing her career playing professionally in Greece.
May and I did not overlap at our time at Vermont, but due to how close the Vermont basketball community is we have become friends and have frequently seen each other back in Burlington at games.
She is also my first female guest! And I will now be reaching out to other female UVM basketball players to have on the pod.
Ep. 6 - Clancy Rugg | The People's Champ Podcast
It was great catching up with the one and only Clancy Rugg. Clancy and I both did a post-graduate year at Northfield Mount Hermon and then went on to play college basketball at the University of Vermont. Needless to say we've become pretty good friends over the years. He's been playing professional basketball in Luxembourg for the past 5 years so we haven't kept in touch as much as we would like but thats what the podcast is for. Hope you enjoy.
