Bucket Podcast

What does it look like to love the game without hesitation?
In this episode, Sky sits down with Kaylor Buse of West Linn High School — a player whose joy is as undeniable as her talent.
From the playground to packed gyms, her game carries something deeper than skill.

Along the way, Coach Brooke Cates and legendary Oregon coach Eric Viuhkola weigh in on what makes her rare — and what it takes to protect joy in an environment that often asks athletes to shrink.

This isn’t just a conversation about basketball.
It’s about playing — and living — in the full measure.

What is Bucket Podcast?

Not the highlights. Not the recruiting rankings. Not the version of the athlete the world has decided to pay attention to.
Bucket is a long-form storytelling podcast about people who are 'buckets' and the human beings they're becoming.
