Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Tiffany Mitchell

Finally feeling 100% healthy after recovering from torn knee cartilageDecided to explore sports because her brother would come home with trophies and she was jealous

Initially played on all-boys basketball teams and then started playing on girls teams for AAU teams in Charlotte and then in AtlantaRaised by single mother and learned the value of hard work through watching her

Dawn Staley was one of her idols growing up watching the Charlotte StingAfter tearing her ACL in high school, South Carolina was still one of the main schools that still recruited her

It was almost surreal that she was able to play for her idol Dawn Staley at South Carolina and helping build the foundation for the Lady Gamecocks basketball programNamed SEC Player of the Year in 2014& 2015

Earned the Dawn Staley Award for the nation’s best guard in 2016

Feels very blessed to have been drafted by Indiana even though she fell lower in the draft than she expected but she has used that as motivationSelected 9th overall by the Indiana Fever in 2016

She spends her off-season with the WNBA overseas playing in RussiaWords of Wisdom from Tiffany Mitchell:“Nothing is given to you in life and you’re going to have to work hard for everything. Hard work is within life and you have to develop that at an early age and if you do then things will fall into place for you.”
