Today we will be honoring the life and legacy of Pat Summitt for the 11th annual
@WeBackPat
week.
We sat down with Associate Head Coach and former Lady Vol,
@TashaButts
, who talked about Pat Summitt’s impact on her life.
#webackpat
Listen! Y'all know how to make a woman cry! I am beyond speechless and thankful! I love the WBB community. There is nothing like it! Thanks for the support! 💕
Everyone talks about Steph Curry's skills...but I am more impressed with his level of conditioning. Dude is on another level when it comes to that! Take notice student-athletes. It matters!!! 💪🏾 ✨ 🔑📍
Recruits and Coaches… my DM’s are open! Send schedules! Please stay patient with me. I’m trying to get my staff in place and taking care of our current team but best believe I will be out and about this weekend looking for Future Hoyas! Let’s GO!

NCAA tourney: words of advice:
1. Take defense seriously! You can’t be a 1 dimensional player. Take pride in playing both ends
2. Rebound: embrace physical play. Own it!
3. Get in the gym: knock down open shots, take pride in being unscoutable 😊

... blessed to have been coached and mentored by my “Patricia Sue Head Summitt “ I cant believe it’s been 5 years... I miss you! You are with me everyday! 🧡
Unless I am mistaken... the
@WNBA
needs the same rules that the
@NBA
has... allow the athletes to test the waters without hiring an agent... if their draft stock isn’t where they want, they should be able to come back to college...Correct me if I’m wrong. 🧐
Sometimes I wonder how “my” Pat would handle this new age of recruiting... transfer portal, handlers, the potential rule passing of immediate play when transferring... just a thought... I just wonder and I’m sadden to say I will never know! Thinking of my coach! 😔
Random thought: I am so HAPPY to see so many WOC get the opportunity to lead their own programs! This has definitely been an off-season for strong black women and I'm here for it! Earned, never given!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
To see what
@AlvaradoJose15
is doing with the
@PelicansNBA
is truly inspiring! What he's teaching us all is 2 never give up, believe in yourself, your work ethic needs 2 match your goals & chase your dream with everything in you! 💡 🎯 Happy 4 Jose & his fam!
To my old heads: Do y’all remember when you went to the rec or outdoor court and played pick-up? You were either chosen or you had to get down on the next game. If you lose, you had to wait to get chosen or get down again. Remember? Man, that taught me ALOT!
Relationships matter... the first time around it may not work out... but it's how you treat people when things don't go how YOU want it that matters. 💡 🔐 Handle those things with class and professionalism, IT MATTERS! 😊😗
Deep in thought... and thinking about one of my main ladies, my mentor, my coach, my 2nd mom... PAT... Patricia, Patricia Sue Head Summitt... my

... sorry I’m having a moment
Moment of gratitude: I am so thankful and blessed to have such an amazing groups of friends that are indeed my family! I couldn't do this without them. You know who you are. I appreciate and love you with everything in me! I'm BLESSED! 🧡🥺💛🥰

I am so glad during our time of being in training camps/trying to make a roster- Social Media wasn’t a thing. It’s stressful enough being in camp, trying to earn a spot in the toughest league.. NOW dealing with the pressures of social media is ALOT. Protect your mental! 🧵

Let's all do our part! 💕
Please cover these young women & men with all your might. I pray that you help them navigate this world, their thoughts & emotions. Equip them with the courage to say I'm not okay & ask for help. Don't be afraid to ASK. Let's all do our part. HELP Them! 🙏🏾
Pat Summitt insisted her players call her ‘Pat’
She didn’t think they would confide in “Coach” or “Mrs. Summitt”. She knew they would feel comfortable coming to her office and confiding in her if they called her ‘Pat’.
Great leaders treat their teams like family, not employees.
The announcers just spoke a word: “if you want to win, you can’t put a cap on how to win. You have to play whatever position is necessary.” He’s speaking on Bron playing the 5. So, note to recruits: don’t put yourself in a Box. Versatility is EVERYTHING!! 📍
We Are Proud To Support Those Fighting Breast Cancer.
Former LSU coach Tasha Butts is battling it right now. We support her and every woman who is currently battling the disease.

The ability to knock down OPEN shots is under-rated. Don’t get caught up in all these cones drills, and 50 dribbles... knock down open shots! Keep the defense HONEST! Be a threat and un-scoutable!

Of course I am super happy and proud for the coaches... but the happiness I feel for the TEAM is on another level! 🐝

Just sitting here thinking: I am excited for student athletes to be able to take advantage of the NIL.. keep this in mind.. Companies invest and they want to see a return on their investment. With that being said : Perfect your craft! The work doesn’t stop!
6-22-22 My Skyy “Baby” gained her Doggie Angel Wings. I’m trying to find comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering. I LOVE YOU baby girl. You can rest now. 🥲💔🌹
I’m sooo happy for these young men and staff! What an incredibly gutsy performance tonight! Y’all held it down for the city!!

My heart is full and I am happy! Does anyone else feel like a Heavy Weight has been lifted off of our shoulders and country? The work isn’t don’t yet, but this is a great start to a new beginning.
I’m only saying this bc I don’t want current collegiate student athletes to lose their eligibility…Make sure you have read and understand the rules of the NLI and everyone that’s assisting you should also…BC, I see ALOT of VIOLATIONS. 🥺
WOW!! Unbelievable! It doesn’t matter what level you are… it is a grind and we are all or should I say we should be TEACHERS of the game.. this is not about US… you should have put them in their place in a quick, fast, hurry! 😡 SMH
Set next to a player development staff member this weekend from a P5 school who tried to big time me because I was at a mid-major, I quote “this what we do at big schools” … be humble and grateful because as quick as god blessed you he will take it from you too!
So proud of our ladies... they played with Tech Toughness!!! Hard fought win against a very good team in Miami...
