Sipping Coffee with Sophia Popov: An Engaging Chat with Michelle Wie West
Sophia Popov: Hey Michelle! It’s so awesome to catch up with you. It’s been a wild ride, hasn’t it?
Michelle Wie West: Absolutely, Sophia! From the LPGA tour to motherhood, wild is an understatement. How have you been holding up?
Sophia Popov: Honestly, it’s been surreal since the AIG Women’s Open. I still pinch myself sometimes. But enough about me—how’s life juggling a toddler and golf?
Michelle Wie West: Oh, it’s an adventure! Getting the clubs out while also being on diaper duty is no joke. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. How about you? How are you balancing being a pro golfer and, well, having a life?
Sophia Popov: It’s all about priorities, I guess. Family time is crucial, but I’m also fiercely competitive. Balancing practice with downtime is a dance I’m still perfecting.
Michelle Wie West: Speaking of fierce competition, what’s your training regime like now? Any new routines?
Sophia Popov: Oh, I’ve been mixing it up. Lots of focus on mental toughness and incorporating more yoga. It’s been a game changer. What about you? Any tips from your experience after coming back from a break?
Michelle Wie West: Staying connected to the sport mentally is huge. Visualizing shots, even when you’re not swinging, keeps that fire burning. And, of course, lots of core work—gotta keep that swing strong!
Sophia Popov: Core work, noted! By the way, I’ve seen you advocating a lot for women’s sports lately. What’s next on your agenda?
Michelle Wie West: Empowering the next generation is close to my heart. More mentorship programs and definitely pushing for better visibility for women’s golf. We’ve come a long way, but there’s still so much we can improve.
Sophia Popov: I’m totally with you on that. The camaraderie among us ladies on tour is something special, and it’s so motivating to see the support we offer each other off the course too.
Michelle Wie West: Absolutely, Sophia. That’s what it’s all about—lifting each other up and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Speaking of which, where do you see your next big win coming from?
Sophia Popov: Haha, fingers crossed for the next major! But honestly, every tournament is a new opportunity. I’m focusing on staying in the moment and giving it my all every swing.
Michelle Wie West: That’s the spirit! Keep that mindset and the wins will come. Here’s to more victories and breaking barriers together!
Sophia Popov: Cheers to that, Michelle! And to more coffee chats like this. Always a pleasure!
