Elena Delle Donne, the 6-foot-5. 26-year-old basketball star of the Chicago Sky, is far more than an amazing player on the court. The winner of the 2015 Dawn Staley Community Leadership Award, she gave up a college scholarship at UConn to be closer to her family and her sister, who has cerebral palsy.
In an interview with the Dick’s Sporting Goods blog, Delle Donne discusses her basketball success, what she’s passionate about, her typical day and advice for young women looking to become successful in basketball and life.
