This week’s guest is Madden Klass and I have really been looking forward to this conversation. Madden is definitely one of my favorite players today and I wanted to get her on to discuss her ethos on technique, practicing, and just overall approach to how she prioritizes what she focuses on when it comes to becoming a better player. I have a feeling Madden is going to be on some very timeless and impactful records in the future and I was happy to be able to get a chance to chat. That being said, I almost didn’t release this episode because (in my very first question, mind you) I said “in Long Island" instead “on Long Island” and ALL my credibility was blown from the get-go…alas, I decided to move forward with putting it out…I guess it's worth it in the long run. Or is it on the long run? Whatever. Enjoy the episode. Cheers.
