TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
LISA LESLIE
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a woman who took a 6’5” frame and a great deal of talent, and capitalized on these gifts with hard work and training.
Lisa Leslie was the 7th overall pick in the 1997 WNBA draft, but she may well have gone on to become the greatest player in league history.
Over an eleven-year career with the Los Angeles Sparks, Leslie won two WNBA titles, was named the Finals MVP twice, and was three times named the league MVP.
To these accolades she would add eight All-Star Games, nine post-season All-Star Team selections, two All-Defensive Team selections and twice be awarded the Defensive Player of the Year.
In addition to her consistent performance among the league’s elite, she also played a role in enhancing the marketability of the women’s game by pushing the envelope with an exciting style of play some may have thought reserved only for men. On July 30, 2002, she achieved the first slam dunk in WNBA history.
She holds the WNBA career records for points and rebounds.
