An Athlete Speaks

Candice Wiggins is unique. She is not only a star on the basketball court, she exudes energy and aliveness in person. She is unusually articulate and positive. She truly creates a communication experience.

I'm writing about her now because you might have a chance to see or hear her in the next couple of days. Her team, Stanford, is in the finals tomorrow of the women's NCAA tournament, and she is causing a sensation. For those of us on the West Coast, she has been pretty sensational the last 4 years and is peaking in her senior year. But she has always communicated.

The New York Times said, "Her answers were offered with a comfort level rarely seen in any athlete, much less one so young." There are very few good athlete communicators, and she is one you will not only be seeing a lot of on the court, but I hunch you will be hearing a lot from her as well. See her here, but you will be delighted if you can catch her live in the next couple of days.
