What is Athletes Unlimited and its significance to players?
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Hey everyone, welcome to Good Follow Show presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Golden-Witte and in today's show, we have two exclusive interviews for you. I had the opportunity to go travel to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Athletes Unlimited's Welcome Weekend, a whole tray of events. It was really exciting and the energy was amazing as they gear up for Season 5, which will tip off in February of 2026. And while I was there, I had the chance to have some exclusive sit downs and catch ups with the players there. So we will be talking to and giving you access to these conversations every Thursday in this month of November. So make sure you're staying locked in. And it starts today. OK, in today's episode, I talk with Sydney Coulson and Teresa Plaisance.
How did Sydney Colson's life change with AU in Las Vegas?
So buckle up, because, you know, with Sid and TP, it is always a crazy fun time. I'm always so happy when I get to see you because I know it's going to be great vibes. I know it's going to be positivity, potential shenanigans and laughs. No, maturity, professionalism. That's the name of my game. Absolutely. I think you do walk with maturity, professionalism. Every now and then. And shenanigans. And shenanigans.
What is the focus for Sydney Colson going into this AU season?
But we are in Nashville, Tennessee. Yes, we are. AU season five is coming up. And I mean, what do you love so much about Nashville? You're running it back here.
Right. Last year was really exciting. We went from Dallas in year three to Nashville last season. And it was a decision that we had to collectively make with AU staff. Like there were a lot of changes in a business stance going on.
How is Sydney Colson managing her ACL recovery?
But- Even though we wanted to be back in Dallas, they did present such a good case for Nashville that it was like, we really can't pass on this opportunity. Like, as you know, they have the desire to have a WNBA team here. We were like, the city's kind of primed for professional women's basketball right now. And so I think it would have been a real miss for us to not take that chance last year. And it didn't even end up being a chance. Like people, they showed up. They were super supportive. Like the city was excited about it and the players loved it. So it's really good that we're going to come back because I think the reception will be even greater.
What friendship dynamics exist between Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance?
Yeah, it's fertile grounds here. I mean, I was at a couple of the games and matchups last season and it was a great crowd, great energy, all the things. I know, we love when you pull up. Oh, it was so nice. I think we cried.
Yeah, you gave out roses.
I gave out roses.
And then you gave one back to me. I did. No thorns or anything.
How does the AU format contribute to player growth?
I was like, you're real.
I do feel like every time I see you, there's a moment to cry. Because we be having heart to heart.
But be dead serious. No small talk. Let's get right to it. You changed my life. It's deep immediately. Every time.
Hey, what's up?
What is Theresa Plaisance establishing at Athletes Unlimited?
How you doing?
Thank you. Thank you. No, seriously, I mean that.
I'm not even this silly normally. You bring it out of me.
When you came, though, I think because of... What you've done for women in your profession and being a former player, your presence at AU, really anything that you go to is a very good sign. It means that, because you don't just show up anywhere. So it's going to be thriving if Roz is showing up.
How did Sydney Colson influence Theresa Plaisance's transition to television comedy?
So it's always good to see you and it's good to see you advocating and doing so much for Thank you, honestly.
Yeah, yeah, no, I appreciate that. And when I came, it became very evident immediately that the players really care about the league, which is sometimes not, you know, always the emotion that's shared. You know, sometimes it's contentious or, you know, disappointed or angry or wanting more, this and that. But instead, it feels like, you know, you guys are... fighting for the growth of this league and the opportunity to have this option when a WNBA season isn't there. And a lot of that also happens too. There's a player executive committee here. That's actually something I was not aware of before I pulled up to AU, that this is player-led as well.
How so? I mean, since season one, I've been a part of it since season one.
