    Welcome back to Babes 'n' Sports, with your hosts, longtime sports babes and mamas Jamie Hersch and Tory Zawacki Roy.

    Together, the ladies dive into what real support looks like in sports media—and how confidence can come from experience, encouragement from colleagues, or even unexpected allies like coaches and players. Tory reflects on her time covering Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, while Jamie recalls her early days on the sports beat in Madison, Wisconsin.
