Ep 45: Brooklyn DeLeye: Multi-Sport Roots, Championship Hunger, Family Bonds, and Kentucky’s Next Run

With just 30 days standing between us and the start of the 2026 college volleyball season, Tiff and Lindsay reunite to sit down with one of the most explosive, dominant forces in the sport: Kentucky outside hitter Brooklyn DeLeye!

Brooklyn opens up about the Wildcats' unbelievable, globe-trotting non-conference slate, from kicking off at the AVCA First Serve in Milwaukee to making history outdoors at Wrigley Field (and her hilarious fears about playing in the Chicago elements) before jet-setting to the Bahamas. She takes us behind the scenes of Head Coach Craig Skinner’s wild group chats, reflects on how her multi-sport background built her elite athleticism, and shares the deep family bonds that drive her. Plus, Brooklyn reveals her quirky pre-game whiteboard ritual, her go-to pre-match comfort food, and her ultimate travel bucket list in a hilarious, rapid-fire Side Out Sprint!
