Brooke and her mom, Alison, join the Hoops And Talks podcast.

Queen of Rip City, Brooke Olzendam, and her mom, Alison, took a break from holiday festivities to chat with Tara and Cassidy on the Women’s Hoops And Talks Podcast. We learned that Crab Louie was invented in Spokane, Alison was Brooke’s first AAU Coach, and just how close Brooke came to becoming a pharmaceutical rep (a boon for us, a bummer for the pharmaceutical industry).

We also hear the stories of Brooke dancing around the living room and her 7th grade citizenship award. Then we turn to Blazers talk. What was it like for Alison to meet the Blazers?
