Serving as the Director of Athletics at The Hockaday School in Dallas, Tina Slinker was previously the head women's basketball coach at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, where she and her teams achieved numerous milestones, including four Conference Championships, back to back appearances in the WNIT, and Big West Conference Coach of the Year for the 1998-1999 season. She departed as the winningest coach in UNT women's basketball history, posting 241 wins in 19 seasons.

Slinker, a dynamic and successful coach, lost her mother in 2002 and turned her passion for writing into a book: For the Love of Mom: For Everyone Who Suffers Loss. Published in 2009, this book of hope offers the reader insight into managing, but not eliminating, the pain of loss, while giving them a look into Slinker's own continuing journey with the loss of her mom and dad. Read more about Tina and learn that she became a part of the first women's professional league—long before the WNBA. Log on to:

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
