opportunity to fulfill one of my dreams," Woodard said.
Jackie White, a former player for Long Beach State in Long Beach, Calif., is now the second women on the team. Woodard said she was a good addition to the team.
"People were ready for a woman Globetrotter because it is the '80s. People are ready for non-traditional roles." Woodard said. "Being a woman was not an issue for me because I just wanted to be a Globetrotter."
Washington said that Woodward was starting to realize the importance of her position, despite her modest attitude.
"Lynete is beginning to understand the impact she has had in her position," Washington said. "Lynete cares about young people who come to inspire them. It all comes from her team that what makes it so special."
Washington said she thought it was in the best interest of the Globetrotters to hire a woman as a plever.
"We were not thinking in terms of what the Globetrotters could do for Lynette when we sent the letter, but what Lynette could do for them," Washington said.
But the opportunity came at a perfect time in Woodards's life, Washington said.
"Everything was right on time for her." Washington said. "She could have played in the Women's Professional Basketball League, but it folded the year she graduated from Kansas.
"But maybe that was for the best, because then she would not have been a two-time Olympian, or have been able to play overseas in Italy as an amateur," she said.
"I simply knew I wanted to play basketball," Woodard said. "I am always going to play basketball, even if it's in my own back yard."
Playing for the Globetrotters satisfies Woodard's competitive spirit. she said.
Woodard said that the ballhandling involved in Globetrotter basketball added a new twist to the game.
"Ball handling is a natural gift and it takes a natural eye." Woodard said. "When I was first on the team, I went back to my ABC's. I went back to learning and understanding what I was doing."
Woodard will finish her second season with the Globetrotters in April.
Even though she is busy, Woodard said she would not think of having her life any other way.
"I would never commit myself to anything else because I am playing basketball where I have always wanted to play." Woodard said.
