The Golden State Valkyries, a new WNBA expansion team, celebrated their preseason opener amid great excitement and high expectations from fans. With over 15,000 season ticket deposits, the franchise marked a historic moment in women's sports. Majority owner Joe Lacob expressed confidence in winning a championship within five years, while coach Natalie Nakase emphasized a focus on process and growth. Nakase encourages players to embrace mistakes as part of their development, reflecting a strategic approach as the team navigates its inaugural season and sets realistic goals for future success.
Our motto is going to be: 'Process over results.' Every day we want to get better, so what does that look like? We have to check that there is progress.
I told them from day one, it's OK to fail. I want you to make as many mistakes as possible because that's what we coaches are here for.
