In this episode of Pro Ball Buddy Mindset, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my recent signing with the UC Capitals for the WNBL 2025/26 season—and using it as a real-life case study to answer one of your biggest questions: How do you choose what team to play for? Whether you’re dreaming of going pro, navigating college recruitment, or switching WABL clubs, you’ll walk away with wisdom, strategy, and clarity.

🔑 Episode Highlights:

• The three key things I always consider before signing with a team: Coaching, Team, and Organization
• How to ask the right questions during recruitment or selecting a team to play for
• The honest emotional toll of leaving a city you love—and how I stay anchored in my values
• Why inappropriate recruitment at the junior level is a red flag
• A rapid-fire Q&A on free agency, nerves, faith, and more

💬 Quote Worth Remembering:

“Don’t just ask what you can get from joining a team—ask if you’re excited to grow with them.”

– Teige Morrell
