Valkyries HC Natalie Nakase Makes Feelings Clear on Team’s Recent Struggles During First WNBA Season
·|
It has not been an ideal start to the Golden State Valkyries in their first WNBA season. The Western Conference misfits are in the middle of a three-game losing streak that sees them sit ninth in the league with a dismal 2-4 record.
Head coach Natalie Nakase was still a picture of optimism despite the rough start to the season. She backed her squad to go through the growing pains with long-term success as the end goal.
Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Results — Natalie Nakase Urges Golden State Valkyries To Embrace Struggles
Speaking to the media after the Valkyries’ 86-75 loss to the in-form Minnesota Lynx, Nakase addressed the team’s morale as they endured a losing skid they were desperate to snap.
“They’re good,” Nakase said, according to Valkyries’ beat reporter Kenzo Fukuda. “Short-term pain for long-term results. We don’t mind pain. I told you, we’re killers. So the pain, I want them to feel it because, in that amount of pain, we talk about that’s the amount that you gotta grow.”
