Just wanted to share....
I attended the "Raising the Bar" coach panel last night at Haas and it was great. The four coaches shared their individual journeys as players and spoke about what drew them to coaching. They also talked about the challenges they've faced over the years and how they mentor their players on and off the court. Only 17% of head coaches in WCBB are black while 43% of players are, and each of them expressed how they felt a responsibility to be role models for our for future coaches, administrators, refs, etc. and acknowledged the continued need to "raise the bar."
I learned a lot about Charmin too....how she ended up in coaching after wanting to become a civil engineer. How the sport of basketball always pulled her back in, why she ended up back at Cal when she was ready to move on in the WNBA and the challenges she's faced here....So appreciate Charmin and all she's brought to Cal on and off the court. We are lucky to have her....
Meanwhile, if you want to make a pledge for Fundraising For Change you can do so here:
