The Story Behind Almost Pro.
Episode: #004.
Frances & Laura.Your friendly hosts & Almost Pro founders.
In this special episode of Almost Pro, we turn the mic on ourselves. You’ve been asking to know more about the voices behind the podcast, so today we share our journeys, our love of sport, and the story of how a bar in Boston sparked the creation of Almost Pro. From childhood memories on tennis courts and soccer fields to the highs, lows, and the transition out of playing competitively, we open up about the experiences that shaped who we are today. We talk identity - what it feels like to step away from a dream - and how the lessons sport taught us now drive how we lead, work, parent, and show up for the Almost Pro community.
🎧 In this episode, we cover:
Our earliest sporting memories - and what kept us hooked
The identity shift when stepping away from sport
How tennis and soccer shaped our values, leadership, and careers
Why we started Almost Pro - and where we hope to take it
How we split the roles to bring each episode to life
Whether you’re an athlete, coach, sports professional, or simply curious about who’s behind the mic, this conversation shares the passion and purpose driving our work on Almost Pro.
