This episode highlights the Coach Natalie Nakase—head coach for the Golden State Valkyries and our new personal hero. We get into her journey from playing ball at UCLA to coaching overseas to breaking barriers in the NBA and now helping launch the Valkyries into greatness.

We are so impressed by how she and her staff have recruited these players, and the team culture they are building. No one in the history of the W has done what she's been able to do this year. 

Tune in to learn why she's the best. We love Natalie Nakase!
