Positive Leadership: The Success Formula Behind Lady Vol Athletics


In 29 years as the leader of the Lady Volunteers, recently retired Joan Cronan's programmes combined to win 10 NCAA Championships, 30 SEC Regular Season Crowns and 25 SEC Tournament Titles. Additionally, the Tennessee Rowing program has won two Conference USA Championships.

The winning model that Cronan has followed comes from a favorite Bible verse. Luke 12:48 says “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked,” (NIV).

“That has been the platform that we have tried to build our programme on,” Cronan said after citing the verse. “We’ve given athletes great opportunity and with that comes responsibility and accountability. Remember who you are and who you represent, and I think that has built a real pride in what the Lady Vol programme stands for."

An excellent philosophy for success!
