We’re Gonna Die Trying with Lynne Roberts

LA Sparks head coach Lynne Roberts joins Sarah to talk about her early impressions of this year’s Sparks squad, the lessons she’s learned from mentor Tara VanDerveer, and how she had to change her coaching style for the WNBA after spending 27 years in the college system. Then, with Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, Roberts talks about how being a mom made her a better coach, changes to the CBA that will help moms in the league, and the skills she uses both at home and on the court. Plus, your daily reminder that the U.S. is the worst — and this time we’ve got data to prove it.
