Sports and life are inextricably linked from C. Vivian Stringer's point of view. Their lessons are transitive, and in her case, have molded a life philosophy and inspired and influenced the players she coaches and the family she has raised.
On Thursday, Stringer, head coach of Rutgers University's women's basketball team, kicked off the 2011-12 Jepson Leadership Forum lecture series, "Game Changers: How Women Lead and Change the World," by sharing stories of the philosophy that has brought her achievement and helped her prevail over tribulation.
Stringer, who grew up as the daughter of a coal miner in rural Pennsylvania, didn't mention her 2009 basketball Hall of Fame induction, a class that included Michael Jordan, John Stockton and David Robinson.
