And I really want my athletes to consider it an honor to be able to play. And that’s why we give it one hundred percent,” said Woods. “I guess what l want to be known for is being a Christian coach.” Even if Woods does not see her winning record as a major accomplishment, others cer tainly do. “Seven hundred wins is amazing. There’s not many coaches that are able to stay in their sport long enough to accomplish something like that. To me it shows how dedicated she is,” said Hulden.
