Call to Coaching Episode 3: Special Guest Candice Walker

Today we have special guest Coach Candice Walker. Coach Walker is currently the Associate Head Coach at St. John’s University for the Women’s Basketball team. They just wrapped up a record-breaking season, going undefeated the first 13 games and upsetting Geno Auriemma’s UCONN Huskies. The team made an appearance on the AP Top 25 Poll and concluded their season competing in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. Before St. John’s, Coach Walker was an assistant coach at UMass Amherst. She helped lead UMass to their first 20-win season since 1996. In 2020, Coach Walker was highlighted on the WBCA’s thirty under 30 list. I want to give Coach a chance to tell us about her basketball journey, so it is my pleasure to introduce Coach Candice Walker.
