BERKELEY, Calif. -- First-year California women's basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb gathers her staff in a conference room for a weekly "High Performance" meeting and welcomes the team's athletic trainer, strength coach, academic adviser and media relations representative.
The philosophy bred by athletic director Sandy Barbour is quite basic: Bring everybody who works with the Golden Bears' student-athletes into one place to maximize communication and ensure the players are getting the most out of their experience, and that Cal is reaping the benefits in performance, too.
