Sophie Cunningham: High School Kicker to Mizzou Legend to WNBA Leader

​‪@WNBA‬ standout Sophie Cunningham joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a special episode presented by Tecovas, filmed on location at Tecovas Scottsdale. Sophie takes us back to her roots, from placekicking for her high school football team to being a fierce competitor at University of Missouri to answering the call to the WNBA with zero signing bonus and a chip on her shoulder. She opens up about what it really takes to survive and thrive in the league, the conversation around a potential WNBA strike, and what life after basketball might look like. We also dive into the moment Sophie became HER, pre-game routines, Midwest values that shaped her, her worst first date story, a massive mystery opportunity on the horizon and so much more. From college legend to WNBA veteran, Sophie Cunningham brings toughness, honesty, and humor in a conversation about betting on yourself, even when the odds (and the contracts) aren’t in your favor.
