Show Notes

Cori Close (@CoachCoriClose) is the Head Coach for the UCLA Bruins Women's Basketball team! She just won the NCAA D1 Women's Basketball National Championship. So we thought we would replay her interview with Gian from 2021. You are going to see that even 5 years ago, she was already building the foundation to the program that would eventually win a National Championship.

In this conversation with Gian, she discusses:

• • Her journaling habits

• • How to be a leader in the most diverse sport in College Athletics

• • Being a Christian Coach and what that means to her

• • And much more!!!
