#02 Episode with Courtney Banghart Overview

DEC 14, 2017

Badass Quotes:

• “I coach players who want to be great; they think they can be.
• “Fear hinders progress in every way. We have all been paralyzed by fear. Been driven by consequences versus going toward the goal.” 
• “Comfortable is not living. Life is supposed to have edges.”
• “Bravery is everywhere, it’s just masked under uncertainty.”

Podcast Intro:

Courtney Banghart was a superstar athlete, an Ivy League grad - she went to Dartmouth and majored in Neuroscience. She had no idea or intention that she would play basketball in college much less become one the brightest coaching stars in the college game today. She is intense. She is quick and I swear she talks in sound bites, which must be the biggest part of the reason her players are so pumped to play for her. She is both down-to-earth and otherworldly, clearly in what she would call her zone of genius. She shifts the energy of the room when she walks into it and you know, this is no ordinary woman.

Official Bio:

Helping to guide Princeton to unprecedented heights, the 2015 Naismith National Coach of the Year, and named one of Fortune Magazine’s 50 Greatest Leaders, Courtney Banghart will be in her 11th season as head coach of the women’s basketball team in 2017-18. The winningest coach in program history, Banghart has amassed a 208-87 (0.705) overall record with a 113-27 (0.807) mark against Ivy League opponents. [more ...] - http://bit.ly/2j3V4Kl
