A profile of Donna Orender
This is a great profile of WNBA Commissioner Donna Orender from the Tampa Tribune.
I won’t overhype it much more than that, but here are some nuggets from the story. The first one is more about her role as Commish.
Play hard and refit public opinion. Full-court pressure will break down the critics. Crash the boards hard enough and you will shatter the glass ceiling.
I am woman.
See me score.
“There is a lot of research that shows how young girls and women benefit from participating in sports: health, diminishing breast cancer, the rise of self-esteem, better grades in school,” Orender says, her voice rising evangelistically. “That enhanced self-esteem, that ability to master the challenge, understanding how to compete, it all makes you a better corporate citizen.
I must say, I didn’t know Orender coaches her sons’ youth-league team, either. That’s telling of her commitment to family, which it seems she brings to work while promoting the WNBA.
