In this episode of Sideline Stories, we sit down with Ashley Koranteng — founder, GM, and visionary behind the Virginia Vitesse, a brand-new semi-professional women’s basketball team in the WABA (Big love to all my Northern VA folks!).
From showing up to a documentary screening with a dream, to building a franchise rooted in community, culture, and care — Ashley breaks down what it really takes to build something from scratch.
We talk about her coaching journey, how she’s reimagining team branding and operations, and why the Vitesse is more than just a team — it’s a movement.
