Grey Matter: Inside the Minds of the People Who Move the World
Dawn Staley: Head Coach, University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball
What It Takes to Build a Dynasty
What does it take to keep getting better when you’re already one of the best in the world? For Coach Dawn Staley, the answer has as much to do with how you think as how you play.
A four-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time national champion, Dawn has spent more than three decades at the highest levels of women’s basketball, first as a player and now as head coach of the University of South Carolina. She describes herself as the ultimate compartmentalizer, but becoming a better leader required her to learn when to set aside the instincts that had made her successful.
In this episode of Grey Matter, Dawn joins Consello Founder, Chairman and CEO Declan Kelly to discuss the losses that still stay with her, the difficult feedback that changed her approach to coaching, and why learning to understand the people you lead is essential to sustained success.
