Fever's Lexie Hull details pre-game naps, beauty rituals
Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull takes a pre-game nap of at least 20 minutes before nearly every WNBA appearance. The routine, followed for four years, includes skincare, makeup, hair styling and selecting an outfit immediately after waking. Hull embraces a "look good, feel good, play good" approach to boost her confidence on the court.
Hull naps five hours before tipoff, either at home or the hotel, a practice shared by many teammates. She described the process to Fox News Digital as low-maintenance and enjoyable, unlike some players who skip makeup. Nails form a key superstition: Hull ensures they are unchipped and intact, viewing them as essential to feeling put together.
Hull enters her fourth season with the Fever and third alongside teammate Caitlin Clark. She led Indiana through last season's playoffs after Clark's injury, with the team falling one victory short of the finals. Her commitment extends to FORTA Cosmetics, her beauty brand launched in partnership with the athlete-led platform Faves.
Hull seeded FORTA products to female athletes via Faves to test durability under workout conditions and share with fans. The platform enables athletes to pursue business ventures beyond traditional sponsorships.
