Teresa Edwards has won more Olympic medals than any other basketball player in history with four golds and one bronze. She is the youngest woman to win a gold medal in basketball - and the oldest. She’s a WNBA pioneer and has been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Now, for the first time, she shares the story of her greatest loss - and her most incredible victory. She tells the inside story of laboring in the shadow of Michael, Magic, Bird and Sir Charles - the men’s basketball “Dream Team” - and how she helped lead the USA women’s basketball squad to a golden dream of their own at the Atlanta Olympic Games. This is about more than basketball. This is an inspiring tale of what it costs to lose, what it takes to win, and how women can lead the way.

About the Creator and Performer

Teresa Edwards is one of the most-decorated athletes in Olympic team sports. She made history as the first American basketball player to participate in five Olympic Games, winning four gold medals and one bronze. In 1984 she became the youngest basketball player to win a gold medal, and in 2000, the oldest to win gold.
Edwards's playing career was marked by longevity, perseverance, and excellence. Born in Cairo, Georgia, she was a two-time All-American at the University of Georgia, and graduated with a degree in leisure studies. Playing abroad for nine years, she has traveled the world from Europe to Asia and captured professional championships in Italy, Spain, and France. At home in the USA, Edwards played in the Women’s National Basketball Association with the Minnesota Lynx.
She has been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, The International Basketball Federation Hall of Fame, the United States Olympic Committee Hall of Fame, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, Georgia’s Hall of Fame, Cairo’s Hall of Fame, and the University of Georgia’s Circle of Honors, where her college jersey number (#5) is retired.
An ambassador around the world and a leader among her peers, Edwards was selected to take the competitor’s oath at the opening ceremonies of the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996. In 2012, the United States Olympic Committee appointed her "chef de mission" for the United States delegation at the London Olympic Games.
In 2000, Sports Illustrated ranked her 22nd in its list of the "100 Greatest Female Athletes of the 20th Century."

I was interested in the story from the beginning knowing how important the USA Women Basketball team was to us as U.S citizens. But to know what Teresa went through and how she overcame and responded was a display of resilience we could all learn from. I highly recommend this audible to anyone who’s a fan of basketball and stories of black greatness. Thank you Teresa 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this read but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy watching sports especially football, soccer, and basketball but there’s so much of it that I don’t understand. I actually felt like I was right there with Teresa and I enjoyed every detail of her shared life experiences. Thank you Teresa!
