This episode of The Score wasnt planned, but it turned into one of the most meaningful conversations weve had.

Fresh off a dominant showing at the U.S. Finals, three-time World Champion Jade Corkill sat down for an extended, unfiltered conversation that goes far beyond the pay window. After taking the #16.5 with his son Colby and the Open with Tanner Tomlinson, Corkill opens up to TRJs Calli Montague about what that moment really meant and why, in his words, it felt like a world championship.

What follows is a candid look at the evolution of a competitor. Corkill reflects on the shift from chasing titles to finding fulfillment in watching the next generation rise, especially when that next generation is your own kid. He breaks down the mental side of team roping at an elite level, from handling pressure and staying present to the simple truth that most competitors beat themselves before the steer is ever roped.

Its equal parts philosophy, fatherhood, and high-level strategy, told in a way only someone whos lived it can explain. Whether you rope or not, this episode hits on something bigger: perspective, growth, and what it actually means to win.
