Ep95: Keely Froling - Captain & Competitor

Playing in Sydney for the first time this WNBL season is Captain of the Sydney Flames Keely Froling and the team. Keely has been posting amazing individual performances while learning to navigate the dual role of fierce competitor and leader as Captain of one of the youngest squads in the league.We talk to Keely about the teams gruelling on-the-road start around Australia and the excitement of finally getting to Sydney and their home crowd for this weekend's double header with the Sydney Kings at the home of the hugely successful FIBA Women’s World Cup in a rematch with the Bendigo Spirit.Possibly one of the grittiest athletes, schooled under Marianna Tolo’s leadership and a self-confessed 'white line fever’ player, Keely is fine tuning her leadership skills and understands the need to bring her young squad together and look ahead positively, “it's going to click at some point and we're going to get those win’s rolling on the board”.We’re grateful to Keely for her openness in sharing on the diffciulties of her college experience and no doubt this has shaped the resilience and grit she’s known for as one of the youngest players to enter the league. We also get to know her a little bit more off the court away from the nation's biggest city, and of course we go off-script with the usual hilarious results - listen out for that one!Enjoy!Don’t forget to like, share and leave a review so we can get more Hoops content to you!Join us on our socials - Twitter: @TheBreezePod and IG: @shootingthebreezepod
