What does it take to leave everything you know at 14 to chase a dream? For Maite Cazorla, it meant leaving the Canary Islands for Barcelona, then crossing an ocean to play college basketball in Oregon, getting drafted, stepping out on the WNBA court and eventually coming back home and representing Spain on the Olympic stage.Maite has experienced the highest highs on the court and within her respective teams that she likes to call her second family, but... She's also navigated the sacrifices and loneliness of being far from home, accepting new challenges, learning as a 'sponge' from the legends of this game - simply because that is who she is becoming.In this conversation, she opens up about the mental side of basketball that nobody sees - how she handles pressure, what helped her come back from the tough injury she endured, what keeps her grounded when everything feels uncertain, and why being vulnerable might actually be her greatest strength.This is a raw, honest conversation about the real journey behind the jersey.📢 Guest: Maite Cazorla🎧 Host: Milica Jovanović👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes where we explore the minds of top performers and the strategies that drive success in sports.
