Leader of the Pack: The Legacy of Legendary Coach Kay Yow
Six months after Hall of Fame Coach Kay Yow's death, 35 of her former players joined together to keep her memory alive in the inspirational book Leader of the Pack: The Legacy of Legendary Coach Kay Yow.
RALEIGH, NC, August 15, 2009 /Religion PR News/ -- Authorized by Coach Yow prior to her passing, Leader of the Pack chronicles her remarkable life through the eyes of Wolfpack women whose stories tell the lessons they learned from Yow. Each lesson ties to an inspirational story from the Bible, demonstrating how all that Coach Yow taught and modeled was rooted in timeless wisdom she garnered from her faith. A portion of the book's proceeds will benefit the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund .
Leader of the Pack gives women who face life's toughest challenges hope and inspiration. Pat Williams, Senior Vice President of the Orlando Magic says, "Coach Yow continues to inspire us and always will. This collection of stories will add a huge dose of inspiration, motivation and hope to your life journey."
No stranger to success on the court, Coach Yow amassed more than 700 wins en route to 20 NCAA Tournaments, 11 Sweet Sixteen appearances, and one trip to the Elite Eight and the Final Four. Yow coached the USA to the gold medal in the 1988 Olympics and was inducted into numerous halls of fame including the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. In 2007, she was awarded the inaugural Jimmy V ESPY for Perseverance.
Author, Stephanie Zonars met Coach Yow in 1993 and in recent years became passionate about helping her legacy live on in written form as a remembrance to those who knew her and an inspiration to those who did not. She is published in Chicken Soup for Soul: Basketball Edition (2009) and authored Timeout: Moments with God for Winning in Life (2008).
