Teresa Weatherspoon unveils her strategy to foster success in Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso’s partnership
As the WNBA’s Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso’s coaches for the upcoming season, Teresa Weatherspoon of the Chicago Sky has a difficult task ahead of her.
The Sky’s decision to choose both Cardoso and Reese, players who displayed intense on-court rivalry throughout the NCAA season, raised a lot of questions during the WNBA choice.

However, Weatherspoon has a different strategy in place to make sure that the two put aside their rivalry and work together as a team, rather than allowing it to negatively impact the entire squad.
“They come in with a tremendous amount of belief in themselves, knowing what they can do. But also, they understand the little things they must be better at. When you have that, you know that they will buy into to becoming better than what they are now,” according to Weatherspoon.

Additionally, Weatherspoon said: “If you’ve ever really watched them, they compete. At all costs, they wanna win. Come from winning programs, they’re coached very well. And I like it.”
Cardoso and Reese are excited about the upcoming season.
Reese is undoubtedly enjoying her WNBA career in its early stages, despite the rivalry.

“I love a coach that’s fiery. Brings energy every day. You know what you’re gonna get from her. She’s going to bring the best out of you every single day. You want somebody to push you every day out of greatness because I don’t wanna have an off day,” Angel Reese said.

Additionally, Cardoso has been praising Weatherspoon, saying: “She’s an amazing coach. I don’t like to compare people but like it’s very similar to coach Staley. They big on family, they big on little details, and she just hold us accountable. So, that’s what I love about her. She stays true to herself, so, that’s amazing.”
