Episode Notes

Episode 14 features Jaz, who shares how she found rugby, proving her athleticism by doing both cheer & rugby in high school. She was almost run off from rugby by the conditioning, but it may have been tackling that kept her coming back. She took a break in college, but found her way back to the pitch junior year & on to the Indy women’s club after graduation & then WPL at Berkeley. Alongside her story, Jaz shares the ways she grew to accept & embrace her body, on moving cross country for WPL rugby at Berkeley & coming to embrace her bisexuality. To wrap up the convo, Jaz shares her current experience coaching her alma mater high school club, North Central in Indianapolis. The convo is sprinkled with lots of pitch talk throughout, but who couldn’t guess that? Don’t miss the end where Sus fails miserably at 2 Truths & A Lie! CW: just a few curse words, as usual it’s very casual As always, WITH YOU is looking for more guests to come on the show!
