Hard work. Preparation. Determination.
Yes, these may be cliché character traits you hear over and over again from a parent, teacher or mentor. But when it comes to setting yourself up for success in the sports industry, Katy Winge is the embodiment of these attributes being applied every day.
The love for basketball began in the third grade, which only grew throughout high school as Winge worked to achieve her goal of being a Division I athlete, which she achieved at Illinois State University. Towards the end of her playing career, Winge knew that she wanted to work in and be around sports in some capacity.
