In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Lauryn Reither — former standout guard for Fort Hays State and Southern Nazarene University, now a graduate assistant coach — as she pulls back the curtain on what really goes on behind the scenes in college basketball. From battling through injuries and transfer struggles to finding her purpose in coaching, Lauryn shares how her faith, resilience, and love for the game have shaped her journey.

We dive into the realities most players and recruits don’t hear: the misconceptions about playing at the DII level, what coaches are really looking for in athletes, and how the transition from player to GA has challenged her both personally and professionally. Lauryn doesn't hold back as she debunks myths about college sports, recruiting, and coaching culture — and reminds us all why passion, perspective, and purpose matter more than ever.

If you're an athlete, coach, or someone navigating the world of college sports, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
