Veteran Division I women’s basketball coach Pam Borton will release a book that focuses on what it means to be a leader in women’s sports.
With 27 years coaching Division I basketball, including 12 years in the Big Ten, Pam Borton led her teams to a Final Four, three Sweet Sixteens, and numerous NCAA tournament appearances.
Her upcoming book, “ON Point: A Coach’s Game Plan for Life, Leadership, and Performing with Grace Under Fire,” to be released January 3, 2017 by Morgan James, is part memoir and part guidebook. A focus within the book is ways to empower girls and young women to gain more confidence and advocate for themselves.
Borton has previously received the Marvelous Mentor Award from the Twin Cities Business magazine, the Top 10 Global Women of Leadership Connector award, The (Real) Power 50 Award, the Ann Bancroft Dream Makers Award and the National Coach of the Year Award by the New England Basketball Hall of Fame. She was recognized as a two-time Naismith National Coach of the Year nominee and honored with the creation of the Pam Borton Endowment at the University of Minnesota in the College of Education and Human Development, the only one of its kind in the world.
Now an International Coaches Federation (ICF) senior executive coach, Borton is a Global Leadership Consultant for Borton Partners.
