Coach Terri Mitchell, Wise On And Off The Court!
Please contact us if you have questions or comments or want encouragement.
Basketball Coach Terri Mitchell has encouraged people on and off the court for many years. Terri and I have two things in common: a love for Jesus Christ and a passion for basketball. Basketball is meant to be played hard and enjoyed, but loving God and his people is what life is all about!
Terri’s faith has brought her through a lot in her life. She has shined a spiritual light on others. Terri Mitchell is not only a great basketball coach, but she is also a wonderful Christian woman. Terri has been very active in literally and figuratively passing the ball on and off the court for many different groups of people! ~ Bill Greguska
1 Timothy 4:8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the future.

There Is More To Terri Mitchell Than Just Basketball!
Terri Mitchell! Basketball Coach And Christian!
Terri Mitchell Knows Basketball And The Lord!
She has been on a basketball court as a player or coach since she was nine. So, where else would she feel most comfortable? “Besides relationships, which are number one, I say what the two areas are? My faith life — my faith in Christ and basketball, so I want to give back. As I look forward to March and what doors I hope will open in the basketball world, I want to give back,” Mitchell said. That means traveling to Africa with “Soles for Jesus,” speaking in the Milwaukee community, and doing prison ministry.

Terri’s Confidence In God!
Mitchell believes that her interaction with each player leads to success on and off the court. Her vision for each player in her program is to enter as girls but leave as well-rounded, confident young women. “Do I love coaching? Yeah. The ball goes up — the butterflies in the stomach. Terri Mitchell had a 348-215 record and 15 postseason appearances in her 18 seasons as Marquette coach. Mike DiNovo/USA TODAY Sports “I would like to thank Father Wild, Bill Cords, and the University for allowing me to be a part of the Marquette community for the past 23 years,” Mitchell said in a statement. “In my 18 years as head coach, I have been privileged to work with amazing coaches and staff.
Terri’s Faithful Service!
She has touched many lives through her faith, compassion for others, and commitment to service. For example, in May 2006, Mitchell took a mission trip to Rwanda, where she spent 16 days in an impoverished African country.
In November of 2011, Mitchell coached barefoot in support of Soles for Jesus. He helped to build awareness for the non-profit organization that provides new and gently used shoes to people in impoverished areas in Africa. In addition to her coaching duties, Mitchell is active in the community and is heavily involved with charitable events. She is an avid speaker on campus, at local schools, basketball clinics, and nonprofit organizations, and is actively involved in prison ministry.
Terri Mitchell Is A Blessing!
Through her speaking engagements, Mitchell incorporates the program’s five principles and encourages her audiences to dream, believe, and live in the now. Mitchell believes in giving back to her profession and the community by serving on several Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) committees, the State Farm Wade Trophy Committee, the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC) Fund Board of Directors, and many other service-oriented organizations. Service is a significant part of Mitchell’s land and her team’s lives.
The Golden Eagles are involved in many service projects throughout the year, including Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee, Briggs & Al’s Run & Walk, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund, the American Heart Association, the WBCA’s Pink Zone initiative, school speaking engagements, and basketball clinics.
