Today’s episode features North Carolina State WBB Alumni and Professional Basketball Player: Dominique Wilson. She talks about adjusting to making basketball her profession and turning it from her passion to her job. Dominique opens up about the difficulties she faced during that process and reveals how lonely it can be as an athlete. She also discusses her approach to practices and stresses the importance of taking time away from the game.
