Episode 68: Britt Hunter

from On The Ball with Andrew Maraniss · host Andrew Maraniss, Vanderbilt University, Sports and Society Initiative

Britt Hunter was the consensus National Player of the Year in high school and the first woman to compete in the Slam Dunk contest at the McDonald’s All-American Game. After suffering a potentially career-ending injury at Duke and spiraling into a life-threatening depression, she faced new pressures rehabbing from her injury after transferring to UConn. After college, she struggled to find her identity, ultimately finding purpose as an educator in Harlem before earning an MBA at Vanderbilt and entering the corporate world at Microsoft. Now she uses the power of her story to inspire, educate and train student-athletes and business professionals to take charge of their lives and shape their futures. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a speaker!
