Born and raised just down I-40, Allison Clark came to Cookeville to play basketball for Tennessee Tech University. After a storied playing career that eventually landed her in the TTU Hall of Fame, Allison ventured into coaching the game that she loves. A published author and a true exhorter and encourager, Coach Alli sees basketball as her avenue to mentor and empower young girls in more than just sports. From teaching leadership and character building to running the point and shooting the 3, Clark uses her influence on and off the court to be an asset to both the team she coaches and the community that has embraced her. In this episode, Coach Clark talks to us about how she sells TTU to new recruits, how she dealt with her parent’s divorce at a pivotal age, and how fortunate she feels to be a part of the Cookeville community.
