🏆 2024-25 WeCOACH Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient: Coach Pat Summitt 🏆 A coach whose accolades and legacy precede her, the legendary Coach Pat Summitt became the winningest coach in NCAA Division I basketball history with 1,098 career wins, a record she held at the time of her retirement in 2012. During her 38-year tenure leading the Lady Vol Basketball dynasty, she won eight NCAA Championships, five second-place finishes, and a combined 32 Southeastern Conference tournament and regular season championships. Tennessee made an unprecedented 31 consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament and boasted 14 Olympic Team members, 39 WNBA players, 21 WBCA/Kodak/State Farm All- Americans earning 36 honors, and 39 All-SEC players earning 82 recognitions. Along with her success on the court, Summitt's student-athletes demonstrated tremendous productivity in the classroom. Coach Summitt maintained a 100-percent graduation rate for all Lady Vols who completed their eligibility at Tennessee. A total of 62 players mentored by Summitt in the UT program went on to basketball coaching or administrative positions. Her incredible body of work earned her the title of Naismith Women's Collegiate Coach of the Century for the 1900s, National Coach of the Year honors seven times, SEC coach of the year honors eight times, and induction into numerous halls of fame. Following her 2011 diagnosis of early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, she devoted her time to raising awareness worldwide about Alzheimer's disease through the Pat Summitt Foundation. The valor Summitt demonstrated while facing her toughest foe earned her even greater admiration than she had attained as a Hall of Fame coach. President Barack Obama honored her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. As a coach, mentor, mother-figure, ambassador, trailblazer, and role model, Pat Summitt was a living torchbearer. Congratulations, Coach Pat Summitt!
