Succeeding in sports is all about the right blend of talent and the things talent cannot buy. We like to call them intangibles.
This is why many talented young athletes often find out later in their careers that there’s more to succeeding in sports than just having the talent.
We’ve seen athletes with the talent that haven’t gone far in their careers.
And we’ve seen athletes without talent who have gone on to do great things.
So it takes more than just talent. It takes a blend of talent and those intangibles I mentioned.
When you’ve spent the better part of the last 25 years coaching elite college athletes, you’ll know a thing or two about finding that balance.
That’s where Sherri Coale comes in. Sherri is a hall of fame basketball coach who coached at the University of Oklahoma for 25 years.
Many of her student athletes would go on to grace the courts of the WNBA.
She is now a speaker and author inspiring the world with her story and journey. Her book Rooted To Rise
