The advice given as a player served her well as a coach, including knowing your teammates, what motivates them and building relationships. She credits Geno Auriemma, her collegiate coach, with building the national championships and being a model for coaching. He wants athletes who value teamwork and who are willing to work harder in practice than in a game. And he expects good academics; good character and good players.

Check out what Jennifer has to say about eight basketball players of the CWSA family who also won the Honda Cup. She describes her professional experiences as a dream for making a living as an athlete and having an opportunity to compete at the highest level every outing, her ultimate competitiveness and need to pay attention to details. Jennifer shares with the audience her experience as President of the WBCA and what comes with paying attention to something bigger than yourself. She credits sport with teaching her the life lessons of humility and appreciation, that no success happens by yourself, and the possibility of having lasting impact as a leader. We hear what success looks like to Jennifer.

Jennifer is using her growth mindset in her current position as President of the WNBA franchise, the Mohegan Sun. Let’s cheer that franchise on during this big professional pivot for Jennifer Rizzotti. But first let’s cheer on the USA Women’s Basketball team in Tokyo at the Olympics where she will be on the bench as an Assistant Coach - a culmination of decades of contributions to USA basketball.

Coming from a sports minded family in Kitchener, Canada, Sarah shares what it was like to be a member of her Canadian national volleyball team at the age of 16. She relates her journey to the U.S., and then the close bonds that brought the Huskers a collegiate national championship .

One of her favorite quotes given to her by her collegiate coach was Thoreau’s “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.” This would serve her well as she fulfilled her dream to become an Olympian. Though beach volleyball was not initially on her radar she saw it as the path to fulfill that dream. Continuing to play professionally, both indoor and outdoor she shares the differences in the games and the necessary transitions to be made.

Sarah, a hard hitting 6’6” lefty, notes that from sport one learns discipline, teamwork, communication skills and confidence and would not be the person she is without sport. She encourages all youth to be involved in sport and laments that girls are dropping out at an early age. During the pandemic she wanted to connect with those volleyballers who were quarantined and created ‘Sarah Pavan Volleyball’ on You Tube, helping beginners to learn basic volleyball. Sarah closes by recognizing the difference collegiate sports made in shaping her life. If you want to cheer on a great athlete, accomplished student and delightful person cheer on the Canadian team of Sarah and Melissa ( Humana-Parades) in the Tokyo Olympics beach volleyball.

Suzy ’s running in the 80’s (in a sport that was not yet mainstream) led her to winning every collegiate race and then the Honda-Broderick Cup in 1990. The Class of 1990 was filled with future Olympians and yet what Suzy appreciates most about her fellow honorees was their incredibly good character. Some of the best advice she was given from coaches throughout her career was to keep sport fun.

Years of professional running brought more challenges and benefits including traveling the world and meeting international people. When asked what made her so good she responded that she was coachable. She then went on to say that after decades she lost her voice and only in the past years is finding it once again. Learning to face the pressure in her third Olympics, Suzy went into the race as the fastest women in the world at 1500 meters. We also hear how she dealt with suffering from postpartum depression after having daughter Kylie and how subsequently medications triggered bipolar. Learn about her commitment to mental health issues and her reflections as she pursues her art within a slower and thoughtful world that she has created in the mountains of California.

A positional switch from outside hitter to setter under the tutelage of Olympian Debbie Green at Long Beach State plus the vacancy of two setters ahead of her not only brought her collegiate team an undefeated season and national championship but it served as a groundwork for her beach volleyball success over the next 13 years. She advises athletes pursuing success that they must be willing to put in the work when no one else is around. And no doubt that is what she and her beach partners did as she won on the pro circuit and qualified for the Olympics.

Misty shares with the audience the differences between hard floor and beach volleyball training and competition, and the excitement and challenges of three Olympics - each uniquely different. The beach team of Misty and Kerri Walsh Jennings won all three gold medals and has been tabbed the greatest beach team of all times. She reflects on why she and Kerri were such a great team including both possessing great drive; holding each other accountable; having energies that counterbalanced one another and could feed off of each other; great all around games individually; common goals, and each respecting the others differences.

Looking back, sport has taught Misty not to procrastinate, to be game ready, realize life is not a sprint but a process and journey, to be a better communicator, and to make sure that choices are aligned with goals. Misty has used those skills as a mother of three daughters, and as a community college coach and personal trainer. Misty describers herself as a competitor then and a person now and what is essential to become a champion.

Tara shares what it meant to her when Athens hosted the 2004 Olympics - truly a welcome home from where it all began. After that, she trained throughout the 2008 Olympics before retiring. From being at the top of her game for so long she was suddenly at an entry level position where her peers were five years younger. Tara built upon the qualities that made her a champion swimmer: hard work; penchant for precision; embracing details to achieving more in academics and in her career. She also was advised, and believes, that one has to dig deeper, take criticism and apply and learn or simply keep going. And she concedes that it helps t have talent… although, without training, that is not enough .

Tara shares the simulated exercises she co lead about Covid-19 in early 2019. She acknowledges the role communication plays in terms of a national strategy for mis and disinformation, and emphasizes how social behavior factors are critical to the response. She shares with us her niche, which went from the theoretical to reality in a matter of months. Tara weaves into her life journey the story of relationships, be it at Stanford, her husband’s relationships that connect her professionally or testifying in front of Congress.

She laments the barriers and the equity needed for women sports and women in science, urging us all to fight the good fight as we are not yet there. All the while we recognize what a terrific role model she is for both sport and science.

Cheryl’s Olympic experience includes the lowlight of the Soviets boycotting, the highlight of winning the gold and the memories of being coached by Pat Summit. She believes it takes integrity, accountability, honesty… and amnesia in the locker room to be a champion. Cheryl describes the basketball champions who also earned the cup: Ann Meyers (1978 winner) as -student of the game - loyal, soft-spoken yet strong, Nancy Lieberman (1979 winner) as cocky, competent; greatest basketball entertainer, Kamie Ethridge (1986 winner) as swiveling eyes who saw everything and everyone, managed emotions and took care of players as point guard, Theresa Weatherspoon (1988 winner) as a physical point guard, bruiser with the best motivational speeches. She describes her coaches, Linda Sharp as being relationship oriented and trusting, Pat Summit structured and detailed, and Kay Yow as blending Sharp and Summit while giving all the benefit of the doubt in her spiritual way.

Cheryl coached at all levels from pro with the Phoenix Mercury, NCAA D I and NAIA. Her talents and familiarity with the game took her to a career in sports broadcasting, which may also be her next step.

Those four siblings went on to be a MLB player; Hall of Fame NBA player; varsity volleyball player and All American...
Cheryl’s Olympic experience includes the lowlight of the Soviets boycotting, the highlight of winning the gold and the memories of being coached by Pat Summit. She believes it takes integrity, accountability, honesty… and amnesia in the locker room to be a champion. Cheryl describes the basketball champions who also earned the cup: Ann Meyers (1978 winner) as -student of the game - loyal, soft-spoken yet strong, Nancy Lieberman (1979 winner) as cocky, competent; greatest basketball entertainer, Kamie Ethridge (1986 winner) as swiveling eyes who saw everything and everyone, managed emotions and took care of players as point guard, Theresa Weatherspoon (1988 winner) as a physical point guard, bruiser with the best motivational speeches. She describes her coaches, Linda Sharp as being relationship oriented and trusting, Pat Summit structured and detailed, and Kay Yow as blending Sharp and Summit while giving all the benefit of the doubt in her spiritual way.

Cheryl coached at all levels from pro with the Phoenix Mercury, NCAA D I and NAIA. Her talents and familiarity with the game took her to a career in sports broadcasting, which may also be her next step.

She also takes us on a journey through her 10 year WNBA career; the 2000 Olympics and later how she faced mental health issues. She describes what she learned from her coaches through her competitive years and especially the tough love of Pat Summit.

Chamique shares not only the trials of mental illness but also the hope as she credits the changes in the past 10 years where athletes have more support, not just for their bodies but their minds and hearts and where science acknowledges the chemical imbalances at its root. She believes that so many people with the genetic component of anxiety, depression or bipolar diagnoses need kindness, understanding and engagement. And we need to talk about it. She joined her sorority sisters at Alpha Kappa Alpha in wearing pearls and Converse for the inauguration of sorority sister VP Kamala Harris. Chamique discusses the life lessons from sport that one learns and how it relates to her present serving as a mental health advocate while raising her 16 month old son with spouse Cara.

Tracy credits that exceptionalism only now as she reflects upon her willingness to be coachable; to work hard, wanting to win and do her best. She says that sport definitely made her more mentally tough and the mental toughness is what separates the elite.  Tracy recounts how she enjoyed training and, at the University of Florida, experienced many interesting and unique training techniques brought to the Gators by Coach Randy Reese. Though she admits that girls and women did not get much deserved recognition she has always been happy that the recognition has moved in the right direction. She is grateful for recognition such as the Broderick Cup where the best women got to meet each other at the event.

Tracy describes Jill Sterkel, Mary T Meagher, Missy Franklin, Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel; also swimmers who won the Honda Cup. She shares the best advice she ever received, which included: “just do your best every day and that will contribute to giving you your best performance, and enjoy it.” By the age of 21 Tracy had retired becoming a commentator and using her journalism degree.  Tracy explains what and who took her to Australia in 1988 where since she married, raised five children, created a group for women in sport in Queensland, worked for the State Academy of Sport, the Australian Institute of Sport and serves on the Board of Australian Swimming. She insists that sport offers so many transferrable lessons to the rest of life and is simply grateful to be remembered.

Candace describes Coach Summit as a leader, mentor, second mother, coach and educator who, at every turn, backed up her words. She describes her coaches: Pat Summit as passionately hard worker; Anne Donovan as a mentor for her young self in the Olympics; Geno Auriemma as master of creative offenses; Carol Ross and her focus on defense and transition game, and Brian Aglar bringing a winning mentality to the LA Sparks.

Candace was drafted number #1 by the LA Sparks played for 13 years until this spring when in free agency she left for Chicago Sky to “go home”. During her Olympic and pro career she recalls Maya Moore as ultimate competitor; Sue Bird with the highest basketball IQ; Diane Taurasi with skills and IQ, and Simone Augustus who Candace would say is the toughest player she ever played against .

Candace sees sports as a complete metaphor for life; the lessons of team sports; the fight for equality; forgiveness; recovering after a loss, to name a few. Candace loves training, playing and watching basketball and when that career is done she may go on to what she calls a second best job and that would be broadcasting basketball.

After a challenging first year at Villanova she was not an immediate impact runner but close, even with her self described “wimpiness and crying”. The next summer she talked herself into returning strong, focused and mentally prepared.  Numerous national championships followed as did her qualifying for the Olympics her junior year. Vicki counters the verbiage of the TV announcer for the 1988 Olympic  trials in Eugene, Oregon who said she wasn’t passing the lead runner Mary Decker Slaney because she was her idol. We hear what Vicki really was doing on her way to qualifying for the Olympics . 

Though not aware of the Honda Cup before receiving it she absolutely believes recognition and more of it is important for girls and women. Some of the best advice Vicky was given by coaches was “All in good time, be patient”, which she believes this was true for her. Vicki recounts how injuries are just part of the experience and the ability to have a supportive village; focus and determination makes the difference in being a champion or not.  This “village” helped her when, as a single mother, she decided to once again train for the Olympics, focusing on Atlanta in 1988.  She compares her experiences of 1988 Seoul and 1996 Atlanta as the difference of being “young and stupid” for the former and knowing way too much to be afraid of for the latter.  Vicki hopes she remained humble throughout her career and is pleased to be able to be giving back as a certified massage therapist and a high school coach. She cites the differences in the sport of running from 30 years ago to now and closes with encouraging everyone to lift up female athletes, to celebrate and pay attention to them.

As the tenth of eleven children, Lucy had to learn how to play basketball in order to keep up with the family games growing up. She recalls going to Delta State University on academic and work study support before they had scholarships. Within years she became the most dominating ‘center’ in the nation. Some may remember the 30 points and 18 rebounds in a championship which upended the champions Immaculate University while Lucy remembers that she only wanted to do the best she could on the court and make the coaches and team proud. However, it was her team that went on to win three national championships

Lucy talks about coming from a small town and being impressed by her first trip to New York City. She reflects about her wins and the making of a championship. She shares her role models, and compares her two legendary coaches, Margaret Wade
from Delta State and Billie Moore from the Olympics as well as the collegiate and the Olympic game while crediting two of the CWSA sisterhood, Annie Meyers and Nancy Lieberman, as well as Pat Head (Summitt) with bringing great competitiveness to
the games. Lucy admits that the NBA draft, from her perspective, was a PR stunt. She shares the life lessons she learned through basketball and is most grateful that women’s sports are being showcased. And finally, Lucy reflects upon the challenges of being wheelchair bound because of hereditary rheumatoid arthritis and revels in the accomplishments of her four children. Among them is a lawyer, a masters degree teacher, a PhD, and a supervisor of the Louisiana State Dept of Education.

From leisurely running to being timed, she had a meteoric rise as a 17 year old making two USA teams all the while setting a high school record that has not been broken for 30 years. Once a North Carolinan, always a North Carolinan, Julie describes how being a runner offers an appreciation for the outdoors and nature.  She recalls her excitement in having new-found interest shown in girls and women’s participation in the first decade of TITLE IX, whether it an apparel company, educators or community that supported her running in cross country, on the track in college, or eventually running for office later in life.  Julie shares what recognition means to a local runner who makes it to the national stage. She credits not only her family and community but her college coach who gave her great advice and she is aware that his scientific background was ahead of his time in training methods. Julie shares the lessons learned as she enters local politics and spends time giving back to her community. Her commitment to running continued when she founded Cool Kids Run, which involves parental engagement while making a statement beyond sport.  Julie is now enjoying her retirement in the Hickory Nut Gorge area of North Carolina.
