"Team Over Self" — The Mentality Driving the Valkyries Right Now

Coach Nakase breaks down another win over Atlanta and gets to the heart of what's driving this Valkyries team. Five bench players scored tonight — and Coach Nakase says it starts with the "empty the tank" mentality they've been building since the Seattle game. Every one of the 14 players buys into team over self, nobody cares about starting vs. coming off the bench. Coach speaks about Gabby Williams — the humble star who doesn't want the spotlight, leads with grace, and makes everyone around her better because of it. Plus Kaitlyn Chen's clutch three in the fourth and a preview of what's coming against a very physical Washington Mystics squad. 00:00 – Opening 00:25 – Empty the Tank — What's Been Working Against Every Team 01:07 – Five Bench Players Score — Credit to That Group 02:04 – Team Over Self — Why All 14 Players Make the Valkyries Dangerous 02:47 – Kaitlyn Chen's Clutch Three — "Keep Shooting Kai" 03:07 – Gabby Williams: The Humble Star Who Leads With Grace 04:12 – Previewing the Washington Mystics — Physical and Scrappy
