Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Welcome to Good Follow Show presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Goldonbure and I am coming to you from our studio in Los Angeles. And we have a very special episode for you this week. We have an exclusive interview with a two-time WNBA champion, also a two-time Commissioner's Cup champion. She's won a championship at the collegiate level, an NCAA champion with Texas A&M. She's a comedian.
She's the face of the league, or one of them. She's my girl, Sid Coulson. What's up, Sid? What's going on?
What's up, Roz? Always good to talk to you. Thank you for having me.
You know, I think there's so many things to talk about, I mean, including the ACL. But let's start first with just the special season you guys have had with the Indiana Fever this year. I think it can be summed up by your end-of-season Instagram post. Let's take a look at this post from you, Sid.
And in the caption, you said, genuinely enjoyed this team and what we did on the court and in the showers. You're so silly. I knew in the offseason that God was placing me where I needed to be to grow and learn some necessary lessons. And that's exactly what happened. And that's a beautiful post. And actually, the comments have me rolling. Let's just look at the comments. Remind her.
Because I'm screaming because your teammates, your teammates are a mess. Not not Caitlin Clark chiming in twice. She says, Sid, I'm thankful for you. Aunt Sid, Auntie Tasha Howard with four hearts. But look at Lexi Hull. Love you, Sid. Showering just won't be the same this offseason. Yo, y'all are really comedy. But I mean, so just to throw it back to you.
There's clearly so much love for your team. There's a huge free agency on the way. This roster may not ever look the same again. So for you, what made this team so special and one to remember in your career?
You know, In the offseason, it was obviously a tough decision for me. I've been with the Aces for so long, and we did some amazing things together as a team. Like I said in the post, I could just feel God. You know when you can just feel like you need to get uncomfortable, like you're being pushed in a direction, and because it makes you uncomfortable, you kind of don't want to do it?

Chapter 2: What insights does Sydney Colson share about the Indiana Fever's season?
You know, people trusted you. Taking on that role, what was it like trying to overcome some of the hurdles? And was there a hurdle this season that you guys, like, rocked y'all? Like, almost was so tough to really stay together from?
Yeah, I mean, like, I mean, from the outside, I think everybody can see the different types of adversity that hit our team. And I don't know. We just found a way. We got a lot of personalities on our team, and there's a lot of joking around. So when hard times were hitting, we were just, like, making jokes, laughing. Because honestly, some stuff was just, what can you do?
What can you say about some stuff? You just got to get closer together. And I think we did that. I think it showed in our play. And the environment was positive. It's just we got plagued with injuries.
But even though the injured players, we still tried to make it a point to be around for practices, to still be lending our voices, to give whatever advice and wisdom we could, even though we weren't able-bodied.
Yeah, it seemed like humor was therapy for you guys. What was it like, honestly, when you tore your ACL, wrapping your head around that one?
That was just nuts. I think once I was falling down, I was like looking at my knee. Like I felt something, but I was also seeing it. And immediately I reverted back to college when I tore.
trying to stay positive but in your mind like you know what it is when something when a bad injury happens especially if you've had it before um but shoot like everybody was joking phoenix cursed our team just the the place the city of phoenix we lost four bodies i think the phoenix in um It was just something that we could laugh about. I mean, we even lost the staff members. Like, what?
When did that happen? You know what I'm saying? But it was just one of those things. You just, once again, use humor to keep it pushing and still try to be there for the team as best you can.
Yeah. I mean, you are so silly because you actually went live on your ACL surgery or coming out of it. What inspired you to do that, girl?

Chapter 3: How does humor help Sydney during her ACL rehab?
I think usually how she dresses me, it reflects my personality a lot, I think.
Okay. Yeah, I'm going to need you to also know your style. Not you needing all this help.
Chapter 4: What challenges did Sydney face during her ACL injury?
Yeah, no. I don't know none of these words. She said, I'm going to need you to know your style. You're crushing it, my girl. It's really inspiring the journey that you've been on. And we only see like the bright lights, but all that it took to get here. And I appreciate just everything you gave us today.
Thank you. I love you, my girl. Thank you for having me too.
