What happens when a teenage pitching prodigy meets up with a WNBA star? The Players’ Tribune wanted to find out.
WNBA star Elena Delle Donne and teenage baseball phenom Mo’ne Davis recently met at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware to sit down for a wide-ranging conversation about fame, social media and the visibility of women in sports.
And they took a moment to teach each other a little about how to play their respective sports.
Watch below as Elena, a former McDonald’s All-American who now plays for the Chicago Sky, learns how to throw a fastball, and Mo’ne, the first girl to pitch a shutout in Little League World Series history - and 13-year-old author - practices how to nail a step-back jumper.
Introducing The Players’ Tribune, a new media platform that will present the voices of professional athletes, bringing fans closer to the games they love than ever before. Founded by Derek Jeter, The Players’ Tribune aims to provide unique insight into the daily sports conversation and to publish first-person stories directly from athletes.
