A Life Devoted to Success
As a four-time EuroLeague champion, five-time European Player of the Year, WNBA champion, and globally recognized athlete, Ann shared the court with the best and learned what it takes to excel. After an illustrious career and her contribution to the Olympic success of the Belgian Cats in Tokyo 2021, Ann decided to end her active career. But her mission continues: she is determined to pass on her invaluable experience and insights to others.
Teamwork According to Ann Wauters
Ann's core message revolves around teamwork, where she gives a unique meaning to the word TEAM: Trust, Energy, Accountability, and Mindset. For Ann, teamwork is based on building trust, effectively dealing with conflicts, anchoring engagement, and taking responsibility. These elements formed the basis for the impressive success story of the Belgian Cats and serve as the key to success in various teams.
Life Lessons From The Game of Life
In her book "The Game of Life," which was released in the fall of 2022, Ann not only shares her athletes journey but also valuable life lessons. This is not a typical autobiography, but rather a collection of insights she has gained throughout her career. In addition to the power of teamwork, she also highlights individual resilience, the influence of your environment and the importance of the process in achieving dreams, such as her Olympic experience.
