Essence Carson on the Mystics’ team chemistry and her music career

The Mystics are two days away from their first game of the 2020 WNBA season at Florida’s IMG Academy and Essence Carson believes the team is on a “good track” as they continue to build chemistry.

“Every day we’re getting better,” said Carson on a Zoom media call Thursday afternoon.

Even though the 33-year-old is new to the team she has been holding some film sessions in the evenings with players, according to Coach Thibault. When asked about taking on that kind of responsibility Carson said “I like to win.”

“I’ve always been that way since I’ve been a kid and that’s not gonna change,” she added.
