Pat McAfee stooge quest origin

On today's show I sat down with Jennifer Magley, Chief Brand Officer of The Basketball League and Basketball Super League, to discuss her Indiana sports roots and elite tennis career.

Magley shares her father David Magley's path from Indiana Mr. Basketball to the NBA, her tennis journey from IMG Academy to the University of Florida (including a national title, becoming #1 in the nation, and later going pro), and how a major ankle injury ended her playing days.

She discusses becoming the youngest NCAA Division I head tennis coach at 23, then transitioning into branding and pro sports.

Magley details her viral yearlong attempt to get on The Pat McAfee Show and her new goal to appear on 100 stages (stage 19 on Get IN.), including emceeing the Microsoft Excel World Championship. She also explains The Basketball League's community-focused model, new Big Baller Brand partnership, and why she calls Indiana home.
