The Olympic Story

After her high school teammates bullied her and her college teammates disowned her, nobody thought she would reach her Olympic dreams.

Falling into depression and using alcohol as self-medication, the dream seemed impossible.

BUT impossible isn’t a word for a WINNER.

Four years after being a bench warmer as a freshman, Sherry starts in a leadership position on the 1984 Olympic Team.

Sharing The Winning Mindset.

After winning 139 games and losing only 20 games in five years, Sherry developed chronic pain.

The pain was so intense she couldn’t walk long enough to buy groceries or sit long enough to watch a movie.

For the next five years, her basketball team didn’t have a winning season.

What did she do? Despite 17 medical professionals who couldn’t find the answer, she persisted until she found a way to better health.

Her story of persistence will rejuvenate all excuses into positive steps, providing your leaders with the mindset that all things are possible with WINNING thoughts.
