In this powerful episode of The Art of Rebounding, host Harold “Lefty” Williams sits down with WNBA legend Adrienne Goodson to talk about grit, perseverance, and what it really takes to rebound in life.

From her Jersey City roots to becoming a national champion at Old Dominion and a trailblazer in women’s basketball, Goodson shares how her family, mentors, and faith helped her overcome tragedy and adversity. She opens up about losing loved ones at a young age, pushing past doubt, and the powerful role of resilience in her journey.

Together, Lefty and Goodson explore:

• The importance of finding your nucleus — the people who guide, uplift, and push you forward.
• How setbacks can become the setup for your greatest breakthroughs.
• The three D’s that change everything: one Day, one Door, one Decision.
• Why building multiple skills and surrounding yourself with the right circle fuels long-term success.

Goodson’s personal “Top 5 Women’s Basketball Avengers” lineup.

This conversation goes beyond basketball. It’s about purpose, persistence, and positioning yourself to rise again—no matter how many times life knocks you down.

✨ Plus, Adrienne shares insights on her own podcast, WNBA State of Mind, where she uplifts voices and stories on and off the court.

Whether you’re an athlete, a dreamer, or just someone looking for inspiration to bounce back, this episode will remind you that your rebound isn’t coming — it’s already in motion.
