Joins Averie Collins and Dr. Stu Singer in the studio, New York Liberty’s Director of Player Development Andrew Wade shares his personal journey toward mindfulness—and how it’s transformed the way he coaches at the highest level. From struggling to stay present early in his career to becoming an advocate for mental training in the WNBA, Andrew opens up about how self-awareness and empathy have become central to his coaching philosophy.

The conversation dives into the evolving world of player development in women’s sports—highlighting the role of visualization, feedback styles, and the need for balanced routines that support both mind and body.

Andrew offers a rare inside look at what it takes to support elite athletes beyond just physical performance—and why the best coaching starts with understanding the person, not just the player.
