Welcome back to episode 12 - our Season Finale!! August is here, and so we are wrapping up Season 1 of Flat and Thru just in time for preseason (our favorite time of year)! For this last episode, we are finishing Season 1 the way we started, with a Liv and Les episode - but with a twist. We asked you all to submit questions via social media, and you guys delivered. There was great participation and lots of questions submitted about hockey, the podcast, and our advice based on our playing experiences. We have had so much fun doing Season 1 and we can’t wait to be back for Season 2…more info to come soon. But for now…let's get to these questions of yours!!

Welcome to our 11th episode of Flat and Thru! Today, we have a unique and fun episode for you all. We chat with identical twins, Ellie and Karen Seid. Ellie and Karen played D1 field hockey and both graduated college in 2019. We excitedly jumped into the conversation about twins through the lens of sport, and we were eager to hear about their unique, shared experience of playing field hockey. Our episode covers their journey getting into field hockey together and playing together through middle school and high school until their paths diverged when they went to different universities. Ellie graduated from Brown University, and Karen graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. We dive into their individual recruiting processes, what they each wanted in a college, difficulties they faced being apart for the first time, lessons learned, and as always, we share a bunch of laughs. Enjoy! 

Here we go with our TENTH EPISODE! Woot woot! We have a great episode in store for you guys. Today, we sit down with two talented and inspiring male athletes, who just competed in the Indoor Pan American Cup the last weekend of June. They are not only members of the Men’s Indoor National Team but also the Men’s Outdoor National Team - Indoor & Outdoor Captain and Outdoor Assistant Coach, Pat Harris, and Outdoor Captain and Rutgers Assistant Coach, Ajai Dhadwal. We talk about the IPAC tournament and dive deep into the topic of boys and men playing field hockey in the United States. We learn a lot about Pat and Ajai’s path to playing at the international level, and they shed some light on how to grow the game for boys and men in the USA. This conversation was awesome to have, we hope you enjoy it!
