Atlanta's professional women's basketball team, the Atlanta Dream, is preparing for the upcoming season. It had a successful run last year and made it to the WNBA finals with Head coach Nicki Collen at the helm. She's been in the top spot since 2017. 

Collen stopped by On Second Thought to discuss her start playing tennis, her passion for the sport and her dreams of bringing a championship to Atlanta.

On Second Thought host Virginia Prescott speaks with Nicki Collen.

Collen said it's "both a franchise goal and a personal goal to be able to hold a championship trophy up."

The team's first game of the season is May 24 at State Farm Arena against the Dallas Wings.
