New York Liberty point guard Sabrina Ionescu made history on July 14 when she scored a record 37 points in the WNBA 3-point-shooting contest in Las Vegas.

When I first got invited to The Ranch Italy 4.0 retreat, it was late September 2022, about six months before I’d ultimately visit the program. A lot can change in half a year, and for me, it did: by the time I was on a plane heading to Fiuggi, the central Italian city known for

And considering I’ve been living out of a carry-on suitcase and backpack for about two years now, I cannot understate the pressure that my backpack

When you watch a soccer game, the easiest players to pick out are almost always the goalkeepers, aka goalies. Not only do they stay mostly in one place throughout a match, but they’re always wearing jerseys of a totally different color than the players in other positions.
