Pat Summitt was was born June 14,1952 in Ashland, TN. She was in many Olympic games and won many medals, she has a masters degree in Physical Education. She was the first woman to be in Sports Illustrated. She became head coach for University of Tennessee's women basketball team when she was 22 years old.She also coached the Olympic women's team and was a consultant in WNBA, advising player selection. She has over 800 victories and was put in the Hall of Fame in 2000.
When she got married she had a son but got divorced. Right now Pat Summitt is still coaching at University of Tennessee, but is now suffering from Alzheimer's. She doesn't plan to retire. She is very inspirational to me because I have played basketball my whole life and she always believed in people. I want to play basketball though high school and college.
