Host Hannah Donnelly sits down with athletes, fitness professionals, and women in and around sports blazing new trails in their fields for the next generation. You will learn what drives them on and off the field, key moments in their lives that changed their direction, their outside passions and more. Prepare to be inspired.
Veronica Burton grew up in a very sporty family which she credits for her love of sport and her competitiveness (I’d love to be a fly on the wall for Burton Family Game Night!) Her family is also instrumental in her Faith journey; Veronica talks about how that has been essential for her and is something she proudly speaks about now and invites teammates to join her in. We talk about her rookie season in the league, specifically the transition from college to the pros and her role as a defender. And while she played big on D, we had to talk about a WNBA record she tied; she’s very humble about this! Like many, Veronica chose to play in Athletes Unlimited this offseason where she was able to compete for the non-profit the Ron Burton Training Village. A place where young men, and now women, come during the summer months to train. It was founded by her late grandfather and is a special place for Veronica and her family to this day. We wrap up by talking about Burton Family Game Night -- who is most competitive, who is most likely to win (and lose!)
