💨 Abstract

Natalie Nakase, a Japanese American coach, has made history as the first Asian American head coach in the WNBA, leading the San Francisco Bay Area's inaugural team, the Golden State Valkyries. Nakase, who faced criticism and underestimation in her career, has a leadership style of "tough love" learned from her father. Her presence is inspiring Bay Area Asian Americans, particularly young basketball players like Adelaide and Ashlyn Chan.
