I'm proud to team up with @Nike on the Athlete Think Tank to create more meaningful change through sport for the next generation of women and girls. Few things are more powerful than the voice of an athlete, but the voice of a collective - this collective - is unstoppable.

Gary,.😂I was so pumped up it was the heat of the moment and it was supposed to be a private moment with my team! I told them WE BELIEVED IN US!FORGET🤪EVERYONE THAT DIDN’T, I WILL GO TO WAR WITH U ANYTIME ANY PLACE!! Not the best look but I was loving on my team. 😊.
Shame on anybody who tries to make Adia Barnes apologize for telling the skeptics to F themselves. That’s a great moment.

@notthefakeSVP This group was about to lead us to our first NCAA Tournament in 15 years. Not only that, we were more than likely going to host the first two rounds after winning 24 games this season. We needed just 2 more wins to break the school record! An incredible group of young women.

I am going to keep that net in a very special place. It will be my motivation!! Hopefully I can do that one day. 🥰.
In 2015, Carolyn Peck gave @dawnstaley a piece of her net from her 1999 national title with Purdue. Staley kept the net in her wallet until she won her own title in 2017. After Sunday's #ncaaW title game, Staley told Adia Barnes she's giving her a piece of her 2017 net. [1/2]

“She’s not afraid of anything or anybody. Overlooking her or saying she’s too small, which she’s been told all her life… it motivates her. It fuels the fire… She’s hungry. She’s got a dog mentality.” — @AdiaBarnes @ArizonaWBB . Aari McDonald // #WNBADraft Prospects 📝⬇️.

Women’s sports need unit sharing!!These two amazing softball teams would have the opportunity to bring money to their schools. There is no way that they don’t make money. The system must change!! When it does Women’s Sports will grow more, bottom line.😡🧀💰.

You can do it!! We need STRONG WOMEN in coaching! I’m at USA basketball With my 7 month old. My motto. GSD! GET STUFF😜 DONE.
"You can be a mom; you don’t have to stop coaching." Coach @AdiaBarnes would know. Send this story to any multitasking moms you know who might need some inspiration today.
