3x national champ Dawn Staley gives sneak peek to her new offseason gig before South Carolina takes to court for 2025 campaign

Dawn Staley is one of the most influential figures in college basketball. Her contribution to the South Carolina Gamecocks is immense. She has taken the Gamecocks to the pinnacle of women's college basketball with three national championships.

She's coming off a stellar campaign for the South Carolina Gamecocks, who reached another championship game under her tutelage. Eventually, the Gamecocks lost the title to UConn, but it was still a memorable season for the college basketball program, as they had a lot of positives.

Staley had been working on a memoir for quite some time, and it finally launched on May 20 and became a New York Times bestseller. It's a memoir that shares inspiring and powerful stories that shaped her coaching career, her mother's influence and growing up in North Philly.

On Monday, Staley uploaded a video, in a studio recording the audiobook version of her memoir Uncommon Favour. Working on her memoir has probably helped her unwind during the offseason and also reminisce about her journey from a player to a coach.

While her achievements on the court are exceptional, Dawn Staley has been a stalwart in uplifting the game and has focused on building strong relationships off the court. She has coached some of the top-tier talents in college basketball, who have gone on to dominate in the WNBA.

Apart from being a legendary coach and mentor, Staley has built her brand with aplomb. She has an approximate net worth of $12 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth, courtesy of her coaching contracts, brand endorsements, media appearances and now book royalties she will get from Uncommon Favour.
