The Director of Player Developments at the University of Texas, Sydney Carter, recently talked about the TV actor who would play her in the movie via UNINTERRUPTED.

Sydney Carter chose Kyla Pratt, an American actress from the movie Love and Basketball, for looking similar to her. In the video, which featured other hoops stars as well, posted by UNINTERRUPTED on Instagram, she said:

"Kyla Pratt! Cuz everybody says we look alike."

She later reposted the video in her Instagram story and humorously called herself the stunt double for Kyla Pratt by tagging her.

"@KYLAPRATT I'LL BE THE STUNT DOUBLE," Carter wrote in her story.

Sydney Carter's Story

The former Texas A&M Aggies player has had her best time in the offseason. She also donned a stunning black and bodycon outfit at the annual ESPY Awards on Thursday.

Known for her game-day outfits, she also had a chance to collaborate with various brands this offseason. She is also featured in the newly launched brand by tennis legend, Serena Williams, called WYN Beauty. She previously had deals with Vogue Greece and other major brands like Marriott Bonvoy.

That being said, Carter recently talked about her desire to be the head coach of a WBB program one day. She expressed her plans via an Instagram Q&A session where a fan asked her about being the coach one day, to which she wrote:

"I WILL BE! LORD WILLING."

Sydney Carter played a major role for the Aggies as a player. She led the program to the 2011 NCAA championship and the 2010 Big 12 Tournament championship. A solid defensive player, she also made it to the Big-12 All-Defensive Team two times in a row in 2011 and 2012. She was later drafted 27th overall in the 2012 WNBA Draft by the Chicago Sky.

What did Sydney Carter say about her game-day dress' criticism?

Sydney Carter made an appearance on the Way Up With Angela Yae podcast where she talked about her career. In the middle of the conversation, Yae asked her about the coping mechanism for the criticism she faces for her game-day dresses.

"My confidence offended people," Sydney Carter said. "To this day, I'm not apologizing for who I am because I was raised this way. ... It surprised me because, at the end of the day, I was just doing my job. And like I can't help that I'm curvy. I can't help that I like to dress a certain way and I've never been inappropriate. So, of course, to me, that's surprising because it's like, 'What did I do wrong?'."

Despite facing frequent criticism for her court-side looks, Coach Carter consistently retains her confidence.
