- Chicago Sky Share Jacy Sheldon Mentorship Update
Jacy Sheldon has been a reliable backup guard for the Chicago Sky this season. In 40 games played so far, including 18 starts, she has averaged 6.4 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
Despite the team's failure to qualify for the playoffs, Sheldon has provided the Sky with defensive grit and high-energy leadership on the court.

Now, Sheldon is bringing that leadership off the court as well, as she looks to extend her impact on Chicago and women in sports.
On Sunday, the Sky and Voice in Sport — a member-only platform that connects girls and women in sports to pro mentors and provides them with other resources — shared a joint post to announce Sheldon's appearance for a live mentorship session.

The event is a virtual session scheduled for Wednesday. Sheldon, for her part, expressed excitement about the mentorship opportunity to connect with other girls and female athletes.
"I look forward to mentoring the next generation and using my personal experiences to inspire, empower and uplift young people as they navigate their own paths," Sheldon said in a statement.
