As a former coach, I'm prouder of the people former players became over their athletic resume. The person matters more than the player. 

The great young women that came through the program did so because of their and families' commitment and sacrifice, exponentially more than any coaching. They embraced, "whatever it takes."

I won't name names because that discredits so many in favor of the few. 

Winners do more. Here's the Anson Dorrance quote (again) about Mia Hamm, working out, alone, unnoticed. 


Lagniappe. Are you prepared to scratch and claw?

Lagniappe 2. 

Lagniappe 3. Top shooters seldom miss left and right. 

Lagniappe 4. I have a lot of 'dumb' sayings like, "bigs away come back in to play."
