Women Leaders in Sports Podcast


May 19, 2019

Hello and welcome to the Women Leaders Podcast! I am Patti Phillips, CEO of Women Leaders in College Sports, and I am excited to be joined on today’s podcast by one of Women Leaders Past Presidents, Susan Bassett, who currently serves as the Associate Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports at Ithaca College.

Susan’s career path began as a little girl idolizing Billie Jean King and cheering on the New York Knicks. She went on to be a two-sport athlete at Ithaca College where she competed in the swim and field hockey teams.

Susan spent the first 15 years on her career coaching both men’s and women’s swim before transitioning into administration and she has served as athletic director at three universities, including her alma mater, Ithaca College, where she has been since 2013.

Susan’s extreme passion for what she does has allowed her to make a lasting impact at every stop. Listen in to learn about that, and also how to coach coaches, the power in building your knowledge base, and the value in immersing yourself where you are.

Enjoy, and remember, we are Women Leaders.
