Rooted to Rise: The Redwood Legacies of Life-Anchoring People

2022

Synopsis

We become who we are in part because of who we bump into on our journeys. Some encounters knock us off our feet, leave us dizzy, and make the world look different in an instant. Others are just shoulder brushes, intersections we barely even notice at the time. But the human confluence changes our shape.

In Rooted to Rise, Hall of Fame women’s basketball coach Sherri Coale shares the indelible truths she’s learned from the people she’s crossed paths with in her life. From Coale’s small-town roots to her award-winning courtside career, her life has been littered with remarkable connections. Each connection, small or large, is a vital part of Coale's journey.

As a coach, as a mother, as a daughter, and as a friend, she shares insight from those responsible for teaching her, as well as those she has been responsible for teaching. Coale invites you to learn from the wisdom she’s gained from paying close attention to the extraordinary, the ordinary, and all that’s in between.
