A Coffee Chat with Amanda Kessel and Kendall Coyne Schofield
Amanda Kessel: Hey Kendall! Long time no see. It’s great to finally catch up. How have you been?
Kendall Coyne Schofield: Amanda! It’s fantastic to see you. I’ve been pretty busy, you know, training, traveling, the usual. How about you?
Amanda Kessel: Same here! Balancing hockey with some new projects and, of course, getting some quality family time in. Speaking of new projects, I heard you recently collaborated on a training program for young athletes. How’s that going?
Kendall Coyne Schofield: It’s been incredible! The response has been overwhelming. Kids are so eager to learn, and it’s super rewarding to give back to the sport that’s given us so much. But, hey! I saw on your Insta that you’re working with a new sportswear brand?
Amanda Kessel: Yup! It’s been an exciting venture. They’re all about performance and comfort, which is perfect for our rigorous routines. We’re even collaborating on a line that’s specifically designed for female athletes. It’s such a game-changer.
Kendall Coyne Schofield: That’s awesome, Amanda. You’ve always had a knack for style and functionality. Remember those custom team hoodies we made back in our college days?
Amanda Kessel: Oh, those were legendary! We thought we were fashion designers, didn’t we? Good times. So, tell me, how are you handling all the different hats you’re wearing now? Captain, mentor, and now, a producer?
Kendall Coyne Schofield: It’s a juggle, for sure! But it’s all about prioritizing and time management. Honestly, the support from our community makes it possible. Speaking of support, I was thinking about that shootout goal you scored last season. Walk me through that moment again!
Amanda Kessel: Oh man, that was intense. The pressure was on, but I just zoned in on the goalie, imagining the perfect spot to hit. I took a deep breath and let muscle memory take over. When the puck hit the back of the net, it was pure adrenaline and joy!
Kendall Coyne Schofield: I got chills just listening to that! Your composure under pressure always amazes me. What’s next on your agenda?
Amanda Kessel: Right now, gearing up for the next season and looking forward to a couple of youth clinics we’ve got lined up. The next generation is so talented, and it’s inspiring to work with them. What about you? Any exciting plans?
Kendall Coyne Schofield: Similar here. Prepping for the season and working on expanding our training programs. Plus, I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast. You know, sharing stories and insights from the world of women’s hockey. Maybe you can be my first guest?
Amanda Kessel: I’d be honored! Sounds like a fantastic idea. We’ve got so many stories to share. Let’s make it happen!
Kendall Coyne Schofield: It’s a deal. Can’t wait to dive in. Cheers to more thrilling goals, groundbreaking projects, and inspiring the next generation together!
Amanda Kessel: Cheers to that, Kendall! Always a pleasure catching up with you.
