Cheryl Reeve is the winningest coach in WNBA history, having broken the league's all-time wins record in 2026 and earned a place in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame's 2026 class. She's the only person in the league currently serving as both head coach and President of Basketball Operations for the same team and she's used that dual authority to build the Minnesota Lynx from a franchise with one playoff win into a perennial contender. 

Since taking over in 2010, Reeve has won four WNBA championships (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017) and a record four WNBA Coach of the Year awards (2011, 2016, 2020, 2024). In 2024, she became just the second person in league history to win Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year in the same season. That year, she also coached the U.S. Women's National Team to Olympic gold in Paris, extending Team USA's unmatched gold-medal streak. 

Before any of it, Reeve earned a degree in computer science; training that still shows up in how she builds a roster and reads a game. Off the court, she's a wife and mother who keeps her home life out of the spotlight almost as effectively as she keeps opposing offenses off the scoreboard. 

As a speaker, Reeve talks candidly about overcoming adversity, why fear of failure is the wrong thing to build a career on, and what it takes to win consistently; not once, but for seventeen years and counting.
