Coach Ashley Carter, current University of Washington Volunteer Assistant and Founder of LeadHERShip Athletics, shares the story of how one basketball coach inspired and changed the way she looked at herself and her game, the power of off-days and how to make the most of them, why comparison is being looked at the wrong way and so much more! Cheers to helping our athletes learn there’s only one THEM, and that’s their superpower!
