# 62 with Cardte Hicks

We were so lucky to have a women’s basketball pioneer in our studio, Cardte Hicks. She played in the first women’s basketball league in America, the WBL. Cardte played for the San Francisco Pioneers, as well as in Europe from 1977-1980. The WBL disbanded after only 4 years. She returned to Europe to continue playing the sport she loved so much. That passion and love of the game drove her to tryout for an all mens team, where she played several games. Cardte was the first woman to dunk a basketball with 2 hands! Today, Cardte is a coach , motivational speaker , CEO/ Founder of a non-profit organization called The Legends Kids First, and much more to her community. Through love and kindness, she has helped so many youth find their potential in sports, and life in general. They say “it takes a village to raise a kid”, we are so grateful that Cardte is in our village. You will love her stories and feel he passion for the younger generation. We hope you enjoy the show!
