Another presser when Natalie Nakase makes a reference to vulnerability. She noted how the vulnerability of her players aided her game adjustments. Brené Brown says "vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change." That's exactly what happened here for GSV.

“Listening to my players after losing two. That’s when we really learned from our losses and they become super vulnerable. At the same time, I really really listen because I’m like something’s going on. This is the game plan but why aren’t we doing this. I thought [Veronica Burton] and [Kaila Charles] specifically were very like coach I just need this. And I need you to do this. And if you were a little bit more like this, I think we can come to a conclusion of being a little more clear and we’ll do it for you. Because their hearts and their will and their want to was always there. I kind of doubted that because I’m like why aren’t you doing the game plan. But they’re like no no no, we’re just a little confused. And so to me it was their vulnerability and me listening to them rather than demanding something that was a little bit hazy. They wanted clarity and I wasn’t giving that to them.”

Natalie Nakase said something in her postgame presser that really stuck out to me. Maybe this is because I've been listening to *a lot of* Brené Brown and her teachings lately, but Nakase isn't afraid to talk about vulnerability and its benefits. She values vulnerability.

"I listen more versus losses because I need to know what they're thinking, what they're feeling. Again just credit to our players. They're super vulnerable after losses. I mentioned before, we get even closer after losses because we learn from our lessons after losses."

just to get ahead of future advancements, i also don't want to watch robots shoot basketballs perfectly from 75 feet every time. the frailty of our human endeavors is the point.

I'm one of those in the group at risk. If anyone is on the lookout for someone with decades of experience in production and release management, please reach out.

unfortunately, that's just not good enough, imo. they may have had conversations, but clearly no plans were made, much less implemented. by refusing to act, they left everyone in limbo and themselves looking inept and unprofessional. (and by "they" I mean the league and the dream mgmt.) #wnba

One thing I can say for a fact about the arena issue is that parties were waiting to see the outcome of yesterday’s game before really drilling down. Convos happened, of course but after yesterday’s loss, when Game 6 was guaranteed, is when everything unpaused. #WNBA I @theixsports.bsky.social

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

Serbia protest.

who's discussing the impact to the fans? I guess we're expected to drop everything and change our schedules at the last minute because the league waited until the last minute to start planning for this. #WNBA

There will be a Game 6 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta. But nobody knows yet where or even when the game will be played despite a furious round of negotiations spilling into Sunday between the WNBA, NBA, Valks, Dream and Hawks. What we know, with @ramonaespn.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Cal Football is in a Murphy’s Law year. Everything that could go wrong (injuries, staffing, comms) has gone wrong for Tosh Lupoi, but can be patched by a good 2026 finish; and if anyone can rebuild through recruiting & the portal, it's him. My weekly piece: writeforcalifornia.com/p/cal-footba...

watching the saints game on delay, and the first thing I hear is about the French national "football" team and "women's rugby" during the Olympics? times really have changed. in the olden days they'd call it soccer and wouldn't have had any idea about any women's sport, much less mention it on air.
