Denise Dignard, the General Manager / Executive Vice-President of Women's High Performance for Canada Basketball, pulls up on Canada Hoops! Denise sits down with your boy Matty to share her basketball story thus far. Denise tells us how basketball took shape for her growing up in Port Cartier, Quebec and ultimately following her dream to play for the National Team and playing professionally in France. Denise talks about how she landed her job with Canada Basketball in 1998 when the Program only consisted of 4 employees at the time. Denise speaks on how Canada Basketball has grown and developed throughout her time with the Program and the strategies she implemented to help launch the SWNT for Canada Basketball onto the world stage. Denise speaks on the rising talent in Canada in the women's program, the commitment and sacrifice demonstrated by the SWNT players and how she identified Victor Lapena as the next Head Coach of the SWNT for Canada Basketball. Denise talks about the upcoming Olympic Qualification tournament for the SWNT in Hungary, planning ahead for the summer with the Paris Olympics in mind and what representing Canada Basketball has meant to her personally throughout her career. And Denise couldn't give us just a Top 5 of all time for Canada Basketball; she drops a ton of iconic and legendary names on us that she feels should be mentioned and honored. This was an incredible conversation with an incredible guest and person and we were privileged and thankful to have Denise Dignard join us on Canada Hoops!
