Question. Who tows the tow truck??
Welcome back to the itsBIGGERthantheball podcast! We are glad to be back with you regarding a very important topic many in the athletic ecosystem are not discussing.
This week we are talking about the mental wellness of coaches. Coaches are navigating tons of pressures and challenges stemming from the pandemic, job insecurity, family, and the changing landscape of college athletics with no one to really talk to. We want this episode to help start the much-needed conversation and inspire action regarding the mental health and wellness of today's coaches and leaders.
If this episode resonated with you and you find yourself overwhelmed and pressured and want to connect, please schedule some time with us using the link below.

Coached by Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame coach C. Vivian Stringer, The 1982 Cheyney University Women's Basketball program holds the distinction of being the first and only HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Women's Basketball program to advance to the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship Game. This program also holds the distinction of being the only HBCU Women's Basketball Program to have players achieve KODAK ALL- AMERICAN in Valerie Walker in 1981,1982, and Yolanda Laney in 1984. No other Historically Black College or University Basketball program, WOMEN or MEN, has reached the heights on the DIVISION 1 level the way the 82 Cheyney Lady Wolves has. The only other HBCU team that could compare to this team would be the 1984 Cheyney team that would return to NCAA Final Four. One of many things that made what those Cheyney teams were able to do so impressive was that it was and is a low-resource institution. Cheyney's enrollment in 1982 was around five thousand students. Cheyney defeated (Auburn, North Carolina State, Kansas State, and Maryland) all had student enrollments of over twenty thousand students. The 82 team finished with a record of 27-2. The ladies were undefeated at home for four years. The team won the NCAA East Regional Championship and would advance to the Final Four, beating the University of Maryland before falling to Louisiana Tech in the National Championship game. This team would enter the tournament as a No. 2 seed. The program would continue to achieve, advancing to the next two NCAA National Tournaments. The Lady Wolves would return to the NCAA Final Four in 1984, losing to Tennessee in the National Semi-Finals. Ten years after the passing of Title IX, which provided social and gender equity for female athletes, these women endured racism, sexism, and limited resources to reach heights yet to be achieved by many programs, let alone Division I HBCU women's basketball programs.

"Love is not a word. It's an action." - pg 314 Over the course of four weeks, we hosted a book review webinar entitled The Luxury Of Huddle Up centered around Coach Thompson's profound statement " I NEVER HAD THE LUXURY OF JUST BEING A BASKETBALL COACH." from his outstanding autobiography entitled "I CAME AS A SHADOW" co-authored by Jesse Washington of the Undefeated. Hosted by itsBIGGERthantheball, LLC and the T. Alexander Foundation, Sunday, February 14 at 3 pm, we hosted the final installment of our dynamic four-part conversation on "I Came As A Shadow." We focused on the calls to action Coach Thompson left to us... Our conversation was segmented as follows: "The world is changing, and college athletics need to adapt...Since the NCAA won't hold everyone accountable, playing players might as well as be legal." "Thinking our way to greatness." - How are we protecting the educational opportunities for today's student-athletes? "There are no Black college coaches today with major influence. We took our eye off the ball." - Recapturing the purpose. Moderators for this conversation are: Coach Edniesha Curry, Assistant Men's Basketball Coach, University of Maine Tracy Jones, Founder, T. Alexander Foundation Dr. Emmett Gill, Executive Director, Athletes & Advocates for Social Justice in Sports Kevin Sutton, Assistant Men's Basketball Coach, University of Rhode Island SPECIAL GUEST, co-author of I CAME AS A SHADOW, Jesse Washington of the Undefeated.
The conversation was so good.
We had to share it!
Enjoy!!!
