Author: Daniel Braun November 6, 2025 Duration: 38:35

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Ella Macleod to discuss her journey in basketball. Ella MacLeod hails from Eynesbury, Victoria, Australia and stands at 5’9″ as a dynamic guard for the Collin Cougars women’s basketball program. After shining at SEDA College in Melbourne and taking a bold leap to the U.S., Ella committed to Collin and immersed herself in Texas basketball life. Known for her tenacity on both ends of the floor, she averaged rebounds and defensive plays that belied her size and guard position. Off the court, Ella’s journey from Melbourne showcases her grit, self-belief, and willingness to embrace change in pursuit of her dream. Her story is one of adaptation, leadership, and relentless pursuit of the next level of her game.*SEASON 6 of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast is brought to you by Isophit.
