Episode 31 - Juli Fulks - Head Women's Basketball Coach - Transylvania University - a podcast by Jon Cook

Juli Fulks and I are both natives of western Hardin Co. Ohio.  We both attended tiny high schools in the northwest/central part of the state (she graduated with 39 students), and our paths crossed when she  attended a basketball camp at Ohio Northern University as a junior high student.  I happened to be her coach for the week, because I pulled off a hell of a trade on draft night!  Juli reminded me that our team went on to win a championship that week.  She has had an amazing journey over the nearly 30 years since that camp, and at just 42 years old, she is leading her second college program to amazing success.  From working in a hospital and helping coach high school girls basketball in Columbus, Ohio, to a two-year graduate assistant position at Defiance College to the head coach at Lewis & Clark College near Portland Oregon at 26 years of age.  A decade later & after leading L & C to 4 NCAA Tournament berths, Juli was named head coach at Transylvania University.  In 6 years, Coach Fulks has led the Transy women to a record of 137-31!  We talk everything from coaching to leadership to possibly completing her PhD!  Please enjoy my visit with Juli Fulks of Transylvania University.
