A’ja Wilson named the most impactful drill from her youth that shaped her career as a pro when asked on Thursday\u2019s episode of \u201cFirst We Feast\u201d podcast. She recalled a conditioning drill called “wing-to-wing” from her college days under Coach Staley.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember in college, Coach Staley had this drill called wing-to-wing and you’re literally just running up and down the court,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cI wasn’t really too happy about that cuz I don’t really like to run like that even though my job is running.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilson has turned out to be one of the best WNBA players of all time. She led the Aces to their third championship, winning the Defensive Player of the Year award, which was shared with Alanna Smith, and a record fourth WNBA MVP award in the 2025 season. She averaged 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game for the Aces.<\/p>\n
