Current and future LU Lion's men's and women's basketball teams will have year-round access to a top-flight practice facility on campus. Finally, Coach Eagan discusses her approach to supporting career guidance to her players. It is clearly much more about life after basketball. Here are Coach Eagan's words from the podcast transcript. That's our number one job (career preparation and guidance). And four years for most of these kids, unless they choose to maybe go overseas, but at some point basketball comes to an end in your life. And you have to be ready to get out into the real world. And so any way we can help them prepare - I think just like you talk about players trying to get scholarships out on the floor in basketball or any sport, it's also trying to separate yourself from other people and jobs, right? And so anything we can do to build their resume, to get them internships, early in their career here, to get them to, I think internships are the best way to figure out if it's really a field you want to be in or not too. You know, I think it really is. And we want them to figure that out before they take a job and then say, man, I majored in this and I don't even want to do this. We're just trying to help them out as early as we can in their career to really start to figure some things out. And I think that was just such a great experience for them to really get their feet wet with it, to look at even some resume type stuff right now. And they'll be here in the summer a lot. So maybe getting them, whether it is down to see some medical stuff or some experiences within what they're thinking about doing.…
