When Sandy Brondello retired from basketball she knew she wanted to coach but just didn't know where to start.
Retiring in 2004 after 17 years on the Australian women's basketball team, Brondello's coaching career began when WNBA San Antonio coach Dan Hughes opened the door for her.
Now at the helm of the Opals and New York Liberty in the WNBA, Brondello is one of three women coaches in the top 36 high-performance sports in the nation.
