Today's episode features the amazing Rose Zhang, a pro golfer that Sky Sport named one of the rising stars of women's golf. Among many wins, she won the LPGA Tour debut just a week after turning 20 and is first woman to win two individual NCAA championships for Stanford. We chat with Rose about dealing with the expectations that come with being a champion at such a young age. Spoiler alert: she's got some seriously powerful mental game tricks up her sleeve. Yes, because golfing requires a sense of mindfulness and being present in the moment: it is a mental game as much as it is a physical one. Here some of the highlights of our chat:
- Her take on time management and how to balance different priorities (hint, it has something to do with remembering your WHY).
- How she manages the expectations and external pressure that come inevitably with winning at such a young age.
- Incorporate breathing exercises and mindfulness into daily practice and training to find inner calm.
- How saying "no" to some things can actually help staying locked in on her biggest goals.
Let's all take a cue from Rose, find some time to touch some grass, and maybe do a little breathing ourselves. If you're learning how to deal with pressure, juggling a busy life, or just wanting to be a little kinder to yourself, don't miss this episode! -

Get ready for an exclusive peek into the world of Danielle Cantor, one of the very few women agents in the NBA. Calling Danielle "just" an NBA agent, just doesn't do her justice. From teaching negotiation at Law School to mentoring young women in sports, she's all about making an impact far beyond the basketball court.
What makes this episode truly special? Well, Danielle prefers to stay behind the scenes, getting shit done without seeking the spotlight. She has only granted one interview with The Washington Post, turning down major media platforms like ESPN and Sports Illustrated over the years.
But today, she's here to share her story with the She GOAT community and inspire all of us!
With over 20 years of experience her career and influence extends far beyond the confines of the NBA: from teaching negotiations at Law School, to advising the National Women's Soccer League Player Association, and mentoring a network of young women in sports, Danielle's impact is undeniable. Join us as we dive deep into Danielle Cantor's story, where she opens up about:
- Her journey, how she became an NBA player's agent and what is like to thrive in a male-dominated industry (spoiler: she didn't realize she was one of the very few female agents in the NBA until a Washington Post reporter phoned her for an interview and brought it to her attention)
- "Confidence comes from repeated exposure" - Danielle's insights on confidence, impostor syndrome, and how to master the art of negotiation.
- "My passion is helping others unlocking their potential" - What are Danielle's aspirations for the future? From her ambition to join an ownership group and make a significant impact to her unwavering commitment to paving the way for the next generation (Aaaaaaand guess what? She's also coaching youth soccer! Isn't that incredibly inspiring?)

In this episode we dig into the incredible story of the forgotten (til now) 1971 Women's World Cup in Mexico, completely erased by history.
Thanks to the documentary COPA 71, produced by Serena and Venus Williams, this incredible event is finally getting the spotlight it deserves and.. a second life!
** You won't believe it **
A huge Women's World Cup took place in Mexico City in 1971, complete with sponsors, paparazzi, merchandise, and a roaring crowd of over 100,000 at the opening match. But....this tournament was completely dismissed by FIFA and football national associations, and then completely erased from history! The English Football Association punished the players and manager: the team's manager Harry Batt was blacklisted for life and all the players received bans ranging between 3months and 12 from playing football. Thanks to the documentary COPA 71, these amazing players, the "Lost Lionesses," are finally getting the recognition they deserve as the movie brings this epic story back to life. Today's guest is Leah Caleb, who at just 13 was the youngest player of the squad. Hit play to know more about this story! -

But Liv's more than just insane talent. Talking to her, I realized just how much fire and willpower someone can have at such a young age. We talked about:
Liv's incredible work ethic and dedication to the game. This girl puts in the HOURS! How Diana Taurasi inspires Liv both on and off the court. How Liv gives back to her community and uses her platform to make a positive impact.

Fórmula 1 Academy es una categoría de pilotos exclusivamente femenina que busca desarrollar y preparar a jóvenes pilotos para avanzar a niveles más altos de competencia, incluidas Fórmula 1, Fórmula 2 y Fórmula 3. Es como una escalera para impulsar a la mujer a competir en la máxima categoría, que es la propia Fórmula 1!
Maite tuvo que luchar durante años para comenzar a competir con coches, a pesar de ser algo que deseaba desde muy pequeña: nos cuenta cómo tuvo que convencer a sus padres, incluido su reconocido padre, el piloto Fernando Cáceres, para que le permitieran competir y seguir su corazón automovilístico.

Have you ever heard of "Rejection Therapy"? It's a viral challenge on TikTok where people try to get rejected every day for 100 days, whether it's asking a stranger for a hug, a photo, or even 100 euro. The idea is to build resilience against the fear of social rejection.
Building rejection immunity, dealing with impostor syndrome and showing up as a male ally, are some of the topics we explore with Daron K. Roberts.
After 4 rejections he makes it into Harvard Law School. Then, instead of pursuing a legal path he decides he wants to follow his passion and be a football coach. After being rejected from 31 NFL teams, he finally makes it to be a coach with the NFL!
After spending seven years with the Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns and West Virginia Mountaineers, he creates the Center for Sports Leadership and Innovation at the University of Texas.He's also a writer and his children's book on empathy was selected on Oprah's Favorite Things List and today he is a keynote speaker and an angel investor.

Did you know that only 8% of sport research is done on women bodies?It means that most apps and products out there are actually made by men, for men! This means that female-specific aspects of sports like performance and recovery don't get the attention they deserve.
The App WILD.AI is working to change that.
Today on She GOAT, we've got Hélène Guillaume Pabis, founder and CEO of Wild.AI!WILD.AI leverages Artificial Intelligence to provides personalized recommendations and help women train, recover, and eat throughout every stage of life. Whether you're on your period, using birth control, or navigating perimenopause and menopause, WILD.AI will provide you with the knowledge to discover patterns and optimize body needs, leading to better training. For example, if you’re in the follicular phase, immunity against pathogens is higher, meaning you’re better suited to handle exercise-induced strain. In this phase, the app – with a caveat saying “if your period does not negatively impact you” – advises adjusting to a higher intensity or volume of training.
Topics:
- How WILD.AI leverages Artificial Intelligence and the science of female physiology to help women train, recover, and eat based on their menstrual cycle.
- The entrepreneur's journey: it's like getting fired multiple times a day! When investors tell you multiple times NO but your belief in your dream keeps you going.
- Building from her insecurities: how's is Hélène fulfilling the dream of her inner child and the unexpected discoveries she made about women's physiology.
