Flat and Thru
Welcome to Flat and Thru with Liv Green and Leslie Smith! We are diving into all things Field Hockey. In this podcast, we will be talking to coaches and recent graduates of all divisions and conferences, support staff, former club coaches and overall “hockey heads” about an array of topics that cover situations beyond the technical and tactical parts of the game. We are going to explore topics such as differences in collegiate divisions, daily life as a SA, mental health, physical training, coaching philosophies, recruiting during COVID, and more. We will also be talking about the relationships we build, the triumphs and struggles we face, the lessons we learn along the way, and the process from the first time we pick up our stick until the last. Our goal is to be an informational and relatable source for you! Overall, we want to bring attention and create more awareness around collegiate field hockey at all levels. Our target audience is all field hockey minded individuals and anyone else who would like to gain insight on field hockey at the higher level. We're so happy you're here!

Episode 7
Welcome to our 7th episode of Flat and Thru! Today our guest is Paul Caddy, Head Coach of the legendary field hockey program at the University of Connecticut. We talk to him about the pros and cons of the many summer opportunities PSAs can choose from, and how much the summer playing opportunities have evolved over the last two decades. From attending a showcase as an individual or with a club to the traditional college summer camps, there are virtually playing events every weekend through the spring and summer. We hope this conversation with Paul gives PSAs the confidence to make informative decisions on what to attend, why, and how it will be most beneficial to their respective recruiting process. Enjoy!
