The result was leading Florida State to its eighth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and a 4th place finish in the ACC and earned a Top-4 seed despite being picked eighth in the ACC preseason coaches poll. Since the ACC added Louisville in 2014 and set its current group of 15 teams, the 2020-21 Seminoles are the only team in the league to be picked as low as eighth in the ACC preseason coaches poll and finish with a Top-4 seed.\n\n\u00a0\n\nWyckoff has sparked the rise of the Florida State women\u2019s basketball program as a standout player, as an assistant coach, and as the interim coach. She was a Florida State women\u2019s basketball standout player on the court from 1997 to 2001. She joined Sue Semrau\u2019s revamped staff beginning in the 2011-12 season. Through 10 seasons, Wyckoff\u2019s tremendous results in defensive game planning, coaching the post players, recruiting, scouting, and other areas resulted in a reward: Being named the team\u2019s associate head coach on May 1, 2018. In her five seasons of taking over the defense, FSU\u2019s sub-60 points allowed in three of the past six years mark the only three times the program has surrendered less than 60 in a season.\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\nIn 2014, Brooke co-founded an organization called Moms in Coaching. This is a support group for mothers who are coaching but are unsure if they can be full-time coaches and full-time moms.\n\n\u00a0\n\nWithout a doubt, Wyckoff was one of the greatest Seminoles ever to wear the Garnet and Gold on the hardwood before playing nine seasons in the WNBA. Wyckoff played in the WNBA from 2001 to 2009, competing for the Orlando Miracle, the Connecticut Sun, and the Chicago Sky.\n\n\u00a0\n\nBreakdown\n\n1:00 - Head Coaching Role\n\n4:00 - Gratitude\n\n9:00 - Debrief Session\n\n12:00 - Leave of Absence\n\n15:00 - Concept of Mentorship\n\n17:30 - Having Kids at Practice\n\n21:00 - Breastfeeding and Health\n\n27:00 - Removing Mom's Guilt\n\n33:00 - Strategies to Keep Women on Coaching\n\n36:00 - Former Players on Coaching\n\n41:00 - Women Sport Coaches\n\n45:00 - Interviews\n\n47:30 - ESPN Ratings on Women's Basketball\n\n50:00 - Comparison of Men's and Women's Basketball\n\n54:30 - Why Women Not Retained on Coaching\n\n57:00 - Conclusion\n\n\n\n\nBrooke Wyckoff\u2019s Bio:\n\nBio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooke_Wyckoff\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/coachbrookefsu\n\n\n\n\nBasketball Immersion\n\nWebsite: http://basketballimmersion.com/\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bballimmersion?lang=en\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/basketballimmersion\n\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/basketballimmersion\n\n\n\n\nBetOnline Website:\n\nWebsite: www.betonline.ag\n\n\n\n\nBest in the West Video Series\n\nBest in the West Website: http://bestinthewestclinic.com\n\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/23c581cb-0728-4c27-b135-e085fcd0968f/135e2835370674a32c6c6235a6a3e54f4f6110ae3868283f018ade21bc307ab.jpeg"}
