Rena Wakama just bagged a new gig, and while it’s all about basketball, let’s talk about what really matters—her style. Coaching is cool, but can we take a moment to imagine the courtside looks she’s about to serve at Chicago Sky?
Rena is no stranger to making history. First female head coach to win an AfroBasket title? Check. Leading D’Tigress to the Olympics? Check. Best Coach title from FIBA? Check. Now, assistant coach in the WNBA? She’s on a roll. And if her journey tells us anything, it’s that she’s bringing that same energy to Chicago, with or without a clipboard.
Tyler Marsh, head coach of Chicago Sky, says, “Rena has proven that she has a winning mindset and attitude.” Translation: She’s got the vision, the strategy, and the confidence to back it up. But let’s be honest—she also has the wardrobe. Expect power suits, sleek sneakers, and effortless game-day chic. She knows how to command attention, whether calling plays or stepping into the arena.

Rena is ready. “I look forward to serving this organisation and working alongside the other brilliant minds on staff,” she says. Chicago, prepare for a season of sharp plays and sharper fits. The Sky’s the limit, and so is her courtside fashion game.
