Hoopers A’ja Wilson and Dawn Staley’s history is written in championships. A’ja helped lead the South Carolina team that Dawn coached to a national title in 2017, then repeated the feat in Tokyo, where Dawn coached A'ja and Team USA to a podium-topping Games victory.
Individually, the pair has an unreal count of hardware and accolades. Some highlights: A’ja is a two-time WNBA champion and six-time WNBA All-Star, and Dawn’s racked up three Olympic gold medals as player to go with her 2021 gold as a coach.
In this audio excerpt from our Nike On Air episode with Womanica, A’ja and Dawn unpack their famous coach-player bond and what it takes to perform on the court.
