Former Players Speak Out About Lack of Championship Mindset

Former Sky Guard Marina Mabrey: "This Team is Not Disciplined"

The Chicago Sky have been one of the most successful teams in the WNBA in recent years, winning the championship in 2021. However, former players have spoken out about the team's lack of a championship mindset.

In an interview with The Athletic, former Sky guard Marina Mabrey said that the team "is not disciplined" and that there is a "lack of accountability." She also said that the team's coaching staff is not "on the same page" and that there is a lot of "drama" within the organization.

Other former Sky players have echoed Mabrey's sentiments. Former forward Cheyenne Parker said that the team "doesn't have the same hunger" as other championship contenders. Former center Stefanie Dolson said that the team "doesn't have a winning culture."

The Sky's lack of a championship mindset is reflected in their recent performance. The team has lost four of its last five games and is currently in sixth place in the WNBA standings.

Why the Sky Are Not a Championship-Minded Franchise

There are several reasons why the Sky are not a championship-minded franchise.

• Lack of discipline
• Lack of accountability
• Coaching staff not on the same page
• Drama within the organization
• Doesn't have the same hunger as other championship contenders
• Doesn't have a winning culture

These issues have prevented the Sky from reaching their full potential. If the team wants to be a championship contender, it needs to address these issues.

What the Sky Need to Do to Become a Championship-Minded Team

The Sky need to make several changes if they want to become a championship-minded team.

• Hire a coach who can instill discipline and accountability
• Create a more positive and supportive culture within the organization
• Find players who are willing to buy into a championship mindset
• Develop a game plan that can consistently beat top teams

If the Sky can make these changes, they have the potential to be a championship contender. However, if they do not, they will continue to be a middle-of-the-pack team.
