Throughout her long career in the world of basketball, Theresa Shank Grentz has found answers to life’s most vexing problems in unexpected places. The former Olympic coach and Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame member never suspected that a “child’s game” could teach someone so much—about passion, confidence, character, and even girl power.
But the game has changed the way she looks at life and living, and now she hopes to inspire others in the same way. Through touching stories and hilarious anecdotes collected from her years in the world of basketball, Lessons Learned from Playing a Child’s Game gives readers a sincere and compassionate look at the life of the renowned basketball coach, and the distinct messages of peace and joy she wants to share with the world.
Within narratives that include growing up playing with the boys, life as a US Olympic coach, and facing tough losses, readers will find valuable advice on enjoying their best lives possible, pursuing and achieving their dreams, and living according to the twelve pillars of character. Regardless of age, interests, or lifestyle, the stories and messages within will provide motivation and inspiration for athletes and non-athletes alike.

Theresa Shank Grentz is a member of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, who served as the US Olympic head coach in 1992. Over the course of thirty-three years, she worked as the head women’s basketball coach for the University of Illinois, Rutgers University, and St. Joseph’s University.
She got her start playing for the Immaculata Mighty Macs, and led the team to three AIAW National Championships between 1972 and 1974. These events were made into a movie, The Mighty Macs, which was released in 2011.
Throughout her coaching career, she has shown a knack for motivational speaking, and has given over one thousand speeches to various groups—from kindergarten classes, to Fortune 500 companies.
