The Connecticut Sun in the WNBA are adding more than experience to their staff—they’re bringing in a proven leader in Athletic Training.
“Terri brings an incredible level of experience and true understanding of our league,” said Connecticut Sun General Manager Morgan Tuck. “She is elite at what she does… and she leads with care, consistency, and trust.”
