She Helped Build Angel City FC — Now She’s Taking Over the WNBA with the Golden State Valkyries

From building Angel City FC to launching the Golden State Valkyries, Jess Smith has been at the forefront of revolutionizing women’s sports. Now as President of the WNBA’s newest franchise, she joins Redefined to share how she’s bringing the Valkyries to life in their inaugural season — and what it really takes to lead with purpose, build a winning culture, and create a movement that goes beyond the court.

Redefined is a Front Office Sports Network show that celebrates the stories, experiences and realities of multi-dimensional women in sports who are redefining success. New episodes release every Wednesday and can be found on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and the FOS website.
