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? I think the older I've gotten, the stronger my faith has gotten. I run to the uncomfortable, honestly, because I know on the other side there's going to be something, some lesson that I needed. And that was what happened this season. Nobody was expecting me to be on this team. Honestly, we know what the views are of this organization from the outside.
But I knew enough people in it. to know that we could do something special and that we could potentially change some minds and some views. It was good just being with another team, being in another locker room. I think when you leave from a situation you've been in for so long, you're like, am I going to be as cool with a new group of teammates? That's just what life is. You figure it out. You get a new environment and you adjust and you get acclimated. And we did something really special for us to have been together for just a matter of months and not fully healthy everybody at the same time. So it was fun. It was really fun. And I think the Commissioners Cup championship gave us like even more confidence that we could go on and win a championship.
And I think we would have had we stayed healthy.
Yeah, you know, people pointed to your voice as one in the locker room that everyone listened to, that you were one of the main leaders for the team.
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.
