An Olympic Gold Medalist on the value of good coaching

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 by

Jennifer Azzi is an Olympic Gold Medal winner while playing for the 1996 U.S. women’s basketball team. She was also a lynchpin of a Stanford team that won an NCAA championship and she played professional basketball in the WNBA.

She attributes her success to a string of great coaches she trained under from the time she was 6 years old.

Her life speaks to the sincerity of those sentiments. She’s become a member of the Advisory Board for the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). She offers basketball camps in the San Francisco Bay area. She’ll also apply her experience next year as the new coach of the University of San Francisco women’s basketball team.

In this video, she recounts her experiences to winners of the PCA Double Gold award.
