Coach Sammy: A Woman Changing the Game.

Imagine it’s the fourth quarter of the 2023 state championship game. The Orange Coast College Pirates—once a team that could barely field a roster—are battling for the title. Their fearless young leader, Coach Sammy, has turned a ragtag group of overlooked players into believers. In those final moments, grit and heart carry them to victory, rewriting what was possible for women’s basketball at OCC.

In this episode of Unstoppable, Coach Sammy shares her journey: from taking over a struggling program, to building a culture of resilience and family, to cutting down the net as state champions. Her story is about more than basketball—it’s about leadership, perseverance, and the power of women redefining the game.

Coach Sammy’s unstoppable spirit is proof that sometimes the greatest victories come from those who were never supposed to win.
