Devynn Miller on Marrying an Ultimate Player | Pod Practice | Ep 10
On the tenth episode of Pod Practice we are joined by Devynn Miller. She shares the ups and downs of supporting Quinn's obsession with ultimate. It takes big sacrifices to achieve greatness in pursuit of our dreams. It's easy to forget that our loved ones are also making huge sacrifices to support us in that pursuit. Quinn is lucky to have found a partner who provides that support. We couldn't be happier for the two of them. Congrats to Devynn and Quinn on the next step in their lives together!

Since 2014, Sean has been to 5 National Semis, 3 National Finals, won 2 Championships (Bravo 2014, Pony 2018), won a WUCC title with Pony in 2022, and made the team USA roster.
