On this repeat episode we have Coach Sidney Parsons.

Sidney has recently started an exciting new role as the Valkyries (WNBA) director of player development. No matter if you've listened to this episode before or not, it's worth listening to again!

Sidney played four years at the University of Bridgeport before spending six years playing professionally in Germany and another four seasons in Australia. She brings a wealth of experience, coaching professionally and working with clubs across Germany and Australia, and has presented at international seminars and clinics. She was an assistant coach for the German Women’s National Team at the 2024 Paris Olympics and was a full-time coach with the German national program. Sidney served as the head coach for the U20 team, an assistant coach for the senior national team, and worked closely on player development with high-potential athletes.

On this episode we discuss:

• The process to playing professionally overseas
• Common misconceptions USA athletes have about playing internationally
• Questions to ask when vetting an agent
• The foundational skills you need as an athlete
• How to add mental stressors to workouts

And much more!

When you work with me you can expect a 360-degree player development plan designed specifically for young female basketball players.
