The Faith of a Winner

Tamika Catchings has an overflowing trophy case. She has won the 2000 ESPY award for the College Player of the Year, the 2000 Naismith National Player of the Year award, the 2002 WNBA Rookie of the Year trophy, a 2004 U.S. Olympic gold medal and the 2005 and 2006 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year awards.

It has not been an easy path for her, however. She was born with a hearing loss (she still wears a hearing aid) which caused her to develop a speech impediment. After being severely introverted during her youth, she matured into one of the international stars of women's basketball.

Sharing the Victory posted an interview with Catchings where she discussed her faith and how that was the foundation for her growth as an athlete and, more importantly, as a person.
