Tony East asked Kristy Wallace about now-head coach Christie Sides’s energy:
“I knew what she’s like. I knew what she was like, as an assistant. She brings really good energy. She brings knowledge of the game. But the best thing I love is that she’s a good person. So to play for her is going to be really fun. And I’m excited with what we’ve done already.”
Howard asked Kristy Wallace about her game evolution from last season to this year. And her leadership role with this young Fever team.
“Yeah, I think this is different. We’re obviously a young team. So maybe, being an older player, I can use a bit of that in my experience and communicate and be a bit more of a leader this year. Now that it’s not my first year, I’ve been through it before I can kind of lead in my own way as well. And that may not be the same as everybody but in my own way. So I’m looking forward to doing that.”
“Yeah, absolutely. I’ve had a chat with Christie. And I think that I bring that to the table and I can lead with my voice but also just leading by example, and doing the little things and the little hustle things and the one percenters and I’m hoping that I can bring that to this team and lift that in some way.”
