with Pat Summitt, University of Tennessee Head Women's Basketball Coach;
2008 NCAA Champions - 8-time NCAA Championship Coach, over 950 career wins

Pat Summitt has established one of the greatest programs in the history of the game. She shares how to build a championship basketball team with her "Definite Dozen," a guideline for on and off the court character traits.

Respect is another cornerstone of the system. Responsibility is all about team - that is, knowing your job and the job of everyone else on your team. Good coaches exhibit good listening and communication skills to relate to players and coaches. Communication on and off the floor is crucial.
