Hard pressed to find a better coach in college basketball, male or female.

RIP. Too young.

I'm a UCONN fan but held her in the highest regards. Very sad.

Borrowed quote from Facebook: "The world needs more Pat Summitt's and less Kim Kardashian's"

I got to watch her coach in a final 4 game a few years back.  She had a great run.

“There is always someone better than you. Whatever it is that you do for a living, chances are, you will run into a situation in which you are not as talented as the person next to you. That's when being a competitor can make a difference in your fortunes.”

"Here's how I'm going to beat you. I'm going to outwork you. That's it. That's all there is to it.”

“I'm someone who will push you beyond all reasonable limits. Someone who will ask you not to just fulfill your potential but to exceed it. Someone who will expect more from you than you may believe you are capable of.”

“If you don't want responsibility, don't sit in the big chair. To be successful, you must accept full responsibility.”


“Quit? Quit? We keep score in life because it matters. It counts. Too many people opt out and never discover their own abilities, because they fear failure. They don’t understand commitment. When you learn to keep fighting in the face of potential failure, it gives you a larger skill set to do what you want to do.”
