BASKETBALL WAGS
TO WIN IN EVERY SEASON
For the women of overseas basketball, each new season is a combination of excitement, chaos, sacrifice, and beauty. The demands of practice, games, and recovery, plus the demands of our family life (at home and abroad) can make us feel like we have zero control over our lives. I believe we can change that narrative. With tailor-made resources and tools, community support and encouragement, and deep self-awareness, we can embolden each other and ourselves to take back control and thrive.

GAME DAYS NEVER
CHANGING PRACTICE TIMES
A DAY IN THE LIFE
Change and uncertainty are foundational components of the overseas basketball WAG life. From having to reschedule an appointment you've been looking forward to because practice got changed, to having to solo parent while you've got the flu, to trying to find time to speak with your family with a 6+ hour time difference... let's just say, navigating this nuanced chaos is not for the weak. Do any of these sound familiar?

MEET JESS WADEN
I never thought in a million years I'd be here. And if I'm 100% honest, I was reluctant to embrace the "WAG" identity. I was fearful that, by name alone, it would define me more than I could define myself. But I couldn't have been more wrong.
This life has transformed me in the best way possible. The separation from what was comfortable unlocked a new level of emotional and mental fortitude; leaving my full-time job enabled me to carve my own career path; becoming a mother abroad deepened my relationship with God (and therefore myself); and supporting my husband not only brought us closer together, but taught me selflessness. The truth? I learned that although basketball is going to be the focus until my husband retires, this can be my season to thrive too.
So, this revelation inspired me to design resources that align and support our unique lifestyle - tools that can help remove uncertainty, empower your emotional well-being, make anywhere feel like home, and much, much more.
