Thoughts on Coach Summitt

Published on August 25th, 2011


After hearing about Coach Summitt’s early-onset dementia diagnosis, I had to write this. She’s been one of the most influential people on my success, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without her coaching.

Coach Summitt you never cease to amaze me with your strength and courage. Whenever you face adversity you tackle it head on! True inspiration for me and one of the strongest women I know. I love you and we will handle this together as the Lady Vols always have, like FAMILY.

For those wanting to send cards of support to Coach Summitt, here is the mailing address: Coach Pat Summitt, Lady Vols Basketball, 207E Thompson-Boling Assembly Center and Arena, 1600 Phillip Fulmer Way, Knoxville, TN, 37996-4610.

    coach summitt is an amazing and strong woman. If you were to look up the word bravery you would see her picture. I still remember the day she came to wi and played against the badgers and i met her and shook her hand. Ill never forget her smile.

    What can I say about the BEST coach EVER!  Coach Summitt is a true sign of strength and her passion for the game and all the young ladies that cross her path means everything to her.  I know that she will fight this head on for as long as she possibly can, and I hope to see her patrolling the sidelines of many many Lady Vol games to come.  She has great support, family, friends & fans that will always wish nothing but the best for her as she continues to fight her way through this disease.  We love you Pat and we got your Back!!!!
