Leadership Lessons from Coach Dawn Staley

Dawn Staley is a special kind of leader in basketball, being a five-time WNBA All-Star who has won six Olympic gold medals. Now she is the coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks, the three-time NCAA Division 1 champion team that won their last title in April. She also was the head coach for the U.S. women’s basketball team in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Staley sat down with NBCU Academy to share how her aim is not to create basketball stars, but to help train the leaders of tomorrow.   

“I don't look at basketball principles,” Staley said. “I look at people principles, because once you have that, the basketball is the easy part.”
