Listen "Under the Hat — featuring Layli Ostovar"
Episode Synopsis
She's not just one of the most decorated high school players in the country — she's a student of the game, a silent force, and a mirror for what's possible when preparation meets poise.
In this episode, we sit down with five-star USC commit and modern-day modern-day legend Layli Ostovar. From her quiet rituals of visualization to the rowdy tradition of touching a coach's shoe after an ace, Layli pulls the curtain back on the work behind the wins — and the stillness that sharpens her edge.
We talk siblings, team chemistry, NIL dreams, and what it means to hold your standard when no one's watching.
Layli shows us how calm can be a weapon.And how competitive doesn't have to be loud to be lethal.
