Coming off a championship season with the Las Vegas Aces, Theresa Plaisance is ready to start fresh with the Seattle Storm. She has an undeniable technical skill, but it’s often the work ethic, humility, and sportsmanship that people comment on first. Today we talk about where that work ethic comes from and why sportsmanship has been so important to her from an early age. We talk about her family — her mom was a college basketball coach and grandfather came to every college game -- and how they’ve supported her. We also talk about some of her other interests in childhood really demonstrating a variety of skills (this is the season of the bell choir comeback!) She reflects on her rookie season training camp after getting drafted 3rd round and how she has kept the same mentality to stay in the league for 10 years. We also talk about how important league growth is, what that could look like, and why it’s important for players to keep using their platforms/voices to make change off the court. Finally, she shares the one thing you must know about her off the court; think tall torso and clean lines!
