Kate Starbird: "You can Dream Now"

Kate Starbird is a role model for many girls. She said that the most inspirational words that she ever heard were "`Can I have your autograph' from six twelve-year-old girls. It makes me want to try so much harder, and do so much better, because I feel like they are relying on me for something."

Kate Starbird is spending the summer urging girls to follow their dreams. She will be speaking at a variety of camps. That includes six days at Jammin' Hoops camps and all the Stanford camps. In the Seattle area, Kate is as well known as any NBA star. She received louder applause than Sam Perkins. At Reign games, little girls beg for Kate Starbird jerseys. She undoubtedly started a fashion trend among young basketball players with her kneepads made by Trace. After seeing Kate Starbird, a little girl even restyled her hair, asking her mom, "Make it like Kate's."

Kim, from Seattle, Washington, is glad the ABL has such wonderful role models. "I come from a generation where women and sports weren't cool (I was born in 1970). I am sooo happy that it's totally different today than when I was growing up. It makes me look forward to having children with all the positive role models out there."
