Bonus Live Episode: WNBA Players Turned Nike Leaders

This live episode, Click Clack's first (!), was recorded at a women’s Flag Football tournament in Portland, OR as the state heads towards making it an official high school sport for girls. Click Clack is all about elevating leadership stories in sports to inspire girls and women as they grow in their careers.

Former WNBA stars Carla McGhee and Lisa C. Willis share their powerful journeys from pro basketball to leadership roles at Nike. Carla reflects on her pivotal role in the first women's pro basketball "Dream Team" and how the pandemic reshaped her career path. Lisa opens up about transitioning from a sharpshooter to a mental performance coach after injury changed her course.

This episode explores how sports built their resilience, leadership, and adaptability—skills that now fuel their impact at Nike. Hear personal stories of challenge, growth, and the importance of supporting women in sports and the workplace.

We also spotlight rising stars like Coco Gauff, Juju Watkins, and Macy Taylor--the first Oregon high school athlete to be recruited for flag football in NCAA-- celebrating the future of women’s sports and the trailblazers paving the way.
