Episode 03 - Micaya White

Podcast

Oct 5

Ok. Third times a charm. Or something like that.

Again, had to straight up cold call aka Instagram DM Micaya because we are not friends. Correction, we *were not friends. She’s cool. And now we are friends. Or atleast on the socials. Which are clearly not real life. I digress.

It’s slightly weird reaching out to girls to be like “Hey. You dont know me. But we probably have friends in common. Can I come to your apartment and film your life?” It’s gone surprisingly well so far. As long as I know someone who is actually real life friends with the person to prod them and vouch for my non-creepyness.

Anyway, Micaya is a baller. She was a 3x All American at Texas, and I’ve been out of the American college scene for a million years, but I’m pretty sure thats kind of a big deal. So woop. We had a shorter chat than I would have normally, because Micaya was so sweet to come over at like 9pm after her training, so I just didn’t want to exaggerate and keep her too late. Luckily my airbnb where I set up the ‘studio’ was a 5 minute walk from her place so it probably wasn’t too inconvenient. I hope.

So far I’ve felt really welcoming vibes from all the coaches and players I’ve asked. Both the coaches from Le Cannet and Cannes were suuuuuuper friendly when I wrote them asking if I could crash their trainings. It’s cool. Maybe its just the Italian way. I respect it.

K bye.
