#133: Jacie Hoyt is the Oklahoma State University Women’s Basketball Head Coach. 

In her first season as head coach at Oklahoma State she lead the Cowgirls to 21 wins, matching the program's best tally ever under a first-year head coach. OSU’s total marked a 12-win improvement from the previous season and resulted in one of the 10 largest turnarounds in the nation, as well as making it to the NCAA Tournament. 

Before coming to Oklahoma State, she was the youngest head coach in the country at UMKC where she lead the Roos to a first ever 2020 WAC regular season Championship and was named 2020 WAC Coach of the Year. 

Coach Hoyt grew up in Kansas. During her high school years she enjoyed one of the most prolific scoring careers in Kansas prep history, finishing with 2,016 points in only three seasons at Hoxie (Kan.) HS. Her career average of 26.6 points per game ranks sixth in state history.

On the show she shares her story, lessons learned from her parents, how relationships matter, selflessness, commitment to the process, the power of alignment, holding people accountable, never settling, choosing hard, being uncommon, leadership, and much more. 

(Also the week this podcast comes out, Coach Hoyt and the cowgirls are hosting an open practice on October 24th at 5pm. So if you want to see Coach Hoyt and the Cowgirls live in action be sure to check that out.)
