Becky Hammon on Winning, Public Criticism, and Being Unapologetically Yourself

Episode Description

What does it take to lead at the highest level when everyone has an opinion about how you should do it?


In this special bonus episode of Mind If We Talk?, Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon joins guest host and BetterHelp therapist Sonni Williams for a candid conversation about ambition, public criticism, and the pressure women face to have it all together. Becky opens up about navigating the expectation to always win, the moments she's felt misunderstood, the importance of setting boundaries, and how she encourages her players to be unapologetically themselves on and off the court.


This conversation is part of BetterHelp's Permission Project, a World Mental Health Day initiative exploring 10 contradictory “Unwritten Rules” women navigate — and how recognizing and questioning those expectations can help women rewrite the ones that no longer serve them.
