Jewell Loyd has become the Seattle Storm's official snack parent of sorts after entering locker rooms at home and on the road hungrily looking for her favorite food and drink options. It's one of the minor issues that often go unnoticed on a broader scale, but still has an impact on an athlete's performance and a team's success.

The lack of good snack options is also tied up in one of the league’s largest and most front-facing pain points of commercial travel, Loyd said. The WNBA collective bargaining agreement stipulates teams must fly commercially, and though it has allowed specific use of the public chartering service JSX, the company is not available in many WNBA cities. The league schedule also expanded to 40 games this year, up from 36, in the same footprint of time.
"When we're flying back to the East Coast, or flying through time change, sometimes we land and it's like, 10 o'clock, and convenient stores aren't open," Loyd said."So you're sitting there, like,What can I get where I can get it quick and still have a shower and still have [athletic] treatment for later?"
The way the deal came about is similar to the WNBA Players Association's partnership with Priority Pass to give their athletes a place toPlayers and the union are taking it upon themselves to broker agreements that would make travel at least a little easier for the athletes while charters remain, at minimum, a few years off.
