The Golden State Warriors organization, of which the Valkyries are a part of, has prepared her for being more public and “preparation builds confidence,” she said. Coaching is something Nakase expressed interest in as far back as 20 years when she was on the San Jose Spiders.For people who may not see Asian American women as leaders, Nakase hopes her new role will change minds.

“I think it’s more like what’s in your mind rather than like the exterior part of it,” said Nakase, who at UCLA was often mistaken for a gymnast or tennis player. “The negative opinions fuel my fire, though.”Nakase’s leadership style is one of “tough love.” It’s an approach she learned from her father. Compliments were not something given in her family. But candor was.Her father “not only (held) me accountable but, he set higher and higher standards because I think if you believe in yourself — in this — then I want to push you to this,” Nakase said. “If your expectations are here, I want to push you even higher.”

That’s not to say she won’t be there for players off the court.Nakase said her “responsibility is to be with them every single day, every single moment, check in, ‘Are we good today?’”

Nakase will be one of four head coaches of color in the WNBA this season.

The other three are Black, but that number is“We have a stronger jet stream, which is helping intensify a low pressure system that just happens to be coming up the coast. And so that’s how it got the nor’easter name,” said Kyle Pederson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Boston.

The heaviest rain is likely to fall in Rhode Island and southern and eastern Massachusetts, Pederson said. Localized nuisance flooding and difficult driving conditions are possible Thursday, and catastrophic flooding is not expected.The storm is then expected to pass, leaving light rain and patchy drizzle, on Friday.

“It’s just really a nice dose of rain for the region — not expecting much for flooding,” Pederson said.Snow is expected to be confined to mountainous areas, but accumulations there are possible.
