Basketball Hall of Famer and two-time NCAA National Champion as head coach at the University of South Carolina Dawn Staley, sat down with Ryan, Fred and Channing for a rare and candid conversation touching on everything from her Philadelphia-upbringing to the Gamecocks recent run in March’s NCAA Tournament, to media criticisms, to impact on culture and women's sports and also reveals her secret obsession.
One of the most decorated female athletes in women’s basketball, Staley took her passion for the sport and applied her point guard abilities to navigating life and helping young women follow their dreams. Often widely criticized for her outspoken approach, Staley is unapologetic in standing up for her players and the integrity of the game which is what makes her such an inspiration and rarity in coaching.
Staley shares how her passion for sports and competition stems from an early age growing up in North Philadelphia and helped set her on a path toward her wildly successful career. Only a few weeks removed from a tough loss in the final four, Staley is finding focus and peace in moving forward and the success her players are having as women off the court and the people they’ve become.
Channing asks how someone so dedicated has time for themselves and he asks her if there is a personal component to life or what she does for fun…and her guilty pleasure may shock you!
