STEELY EYES ON THE SIDELINE
Her piercing gaze missed nothing. Her determination was
contagious, her work ethic commanding. As a player, as a
coach, as a mentor, Pat Summitt's influence and determination
permeated everything and everyone around her. She watched
film like it was her job and subtly imparted the things she learned
into workouts leading up to big games. She told her players to
always give 100 percent — especially when they didn't feel like it.
Summitt was the leader every coach aspires to be. With
influence stretching not only to men's basketball but also to
other sports at all levels from beginners to Olympians, her
playing and coaching style made an indelible mark on sports.
"If I'm not leading by
example, then I'm not
doing the right thing.
And I want to always do
the right thing. "
