Being the inaugural coach of a basketball team is no small feat — especially in the WNBA, which is expanding both in fandom and in number of teams at a rapid rate. Golden State Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase is handling this position with ease as she leads her Valkyries through their inaugural season.
The Valkyries are currently 2-2 as they begin their first ever WNBA season.
“We are a brand-new team, it’s going to take time and so I’m really allowing our girls space to process the season day by day,” Nakase told ESPN.
