In this powerhouse episode of The Art of Rebounding, Harold “Lefty” Williams welcomes Adrienne Goodson — WNBA legend, former All-Star, and current coach/analyst — and Chasity Melvin, former WNBA standout and current NBA assistant coach. Together, they share their insights on what it means to fight for the future of the WNBA, the importance of honoring the league’s pioneers, and how players today can use their voices to create lasting change.

The conversation covers everything from revenue sharing and pensions to NIL’s impact on women’s basketball, the evolution of fan engagement, and the mental and financial challenges players face when transitioning out of the league.

Whether you’re an athlete, fan, or just someone trying to rebound from life’s challenges, Adrienne and Chasity offer empowering advice on persistence, positioning, and finding purpose — on and off the court.
