Winning gold and uplifting our youth | Angel McCoughtry

This week, Rae and Natalie sit down with WNBA legend, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and changemaker Angel McCoughtry for a powerful conversation about winning on and off the court.Angel reflects on growing up as the only girl playing basketball in Baltimore, discovering the WNBA, and how visibility gave her the confidence to dream bigger. She also shares why so many girls leave sports too early, why access and mentorship matter, and how women’s sports are finally getting the attention they’ve always deserved.Angel opens up about the mental health challenges athletes face after retirement, the loss of identity that can come when the game ends, and why more support is needed for life after sport.From uplifting youth to speaking up for the next generation, this episode is a reminder that sports can change lives far beyond the scoreboard.EPISODE CREDITS...Hosted by Natalie Lizarraga and Rae WilliamsDirected by Lauren AmesExecutive Produced by Sydney Kramer and Rachel ApirianProduced by Lauren Ames, Rae Williams, and Natalie LizarragaFilmed & Edited by Chanelle TysonBROADLINES IS ALSO ON...SpotifyAppleJOIN THE CONVERSATION...InstagramLinkedInTikTokXWebsiteBroadlines is a production of The Female Quotient and recorded in Los Angeles, California.
