Sydney Carter was a star basketball player during her time at Texas A&M. Now, the team calls her coach.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Sydney Carter has many passions, but none compare to the one she has for being on the hardwood. Her basketball journey started at Texas A&M over a decade ago, and now she’s back — only this time as a coach, not a player.“I really just came back because I knew I had home here.
“I started on an all-boys team in Dallas, Texas, at the YMCA locally around my house. It was probably at one of my first basketball games. I probably didn’t dribble the ball, maybe twice the whole game. I was traveling the whole game," said Carter.Her game improved throughout high school, enough to catch the attention of Coach Gary Blair and for her to become a contributing member of one of the most legendary groups of women to sport the maroon and white threads.
“What I got from that is the discipline to continue to work hard every day, and doing something repeatedly is going to make me great at it. I think it’s helping me as a professional in this career now in coaching because it takes hard work. It takes discipline," said Carter. "There are a lot of nights where you’re staying up late picking apart a game because you’re trying to figure out how you can be better for your team the next time. So it's an everyday improvement as a coach.
Fashion has always been a passion of Coach Carter’s, but she never expected her style to break the internet. Overnight, one of her outfits grew her social media following to hundreds of thousands. “That picture with the little girl, I mean, the details — she had on clear jellies, she had on pants, the turtleneck. That actually brought a tear to my eye because at that point, it really made me realize the impact that I had on people, that I have had on people. I’m getting stories like ‘I’m going to tell my daughters about you,’ and that ‘they’re going to make another Coach Carter movie and it’s going to be about you.
