In 2019 no woman had ever done a butterfly muscle up in Grid League competition, and there was nothing on the internet to learn one from. Paula Leyes studied a single video of a teammate, saw herself doing the movement in a dream, and walked into the gym the next morning. Two minutes with the player whose MVP season turned on one skill.

“If you keep your legs and core tight, your body knows.”
