Descripción

In this episode of No Advice Possible, we sit down with Tina Edmonds, Director of Texas Pride Field Hockey Club and one of the most influential leaders in the growth of the game in the U.S. From her decorated playing career at Maryland—where she was a 2x National Champion, All-American, and team captain—to building Texas Pride into a national powerhouse, Tina shares what it really takes to develop elite athletes and a winning culture in a non-traditional hockey region. We dive into her coaching philosophy, lessons learned from some of the game’s greatest minds, and how Texas Pride has consistently produced top-tier talent (including a seriously dominant goalkeeper pipeline). Plus, we talk challenges, opportunities, and what it means to grow the game in places like Texas. Whether you’re a coach, player, or sports parent—this one’s packed with insight, honesty, and a whole lot of pride.

Elite Moms: Amanda Golini and Megan Valzonis

This week we sit down with our teammates who have returned to elite competition after becoming mothers — and our conversation goes far beyond finding a nanny and changing diapers. We talk about what it actually takes to step back into high-performance sport, how their relationship with the game has changed, and the unexpected ways motherhood has strengthened their confidence on and off the field. We dive into the evolution within USA Field Hockey — how support systems, policies, and culture have grown to make space for women to both mother and compete at the highest level. We also highlight the behind-the-scenes support from husbands and families who make this pursuit possible, redefining what partnership looks like in elite sport. This episode is about resilience, identity, growth, and the powerful message it sends: you don’t have to choose between being a mother and being an athlete. Sometimes, becoming a mother makes you even more dangerous in the circle.
