My Take
Courtney Thompson is exactly the kind of athlete I admire most. At 173 cm she was undersized for elite volleyball, yet she ran the United States national team as a setter and set an NCAA career assists-per-game record while winning a 2005 national title at Washington. That tells me she won with vision and craft rather than physical dominance, the position's true intelligence on full display. The 2006 Honda Sports Award only confirms it. What I respect just as much is her returning to earn an MBA at Foster, the same composure she showed orchestrating a court applied to building her own life off it.
