Molly Binetti: Principles for Developing Champions & Forging Your Own Path

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan
is joined by Molly Binetti to discuss her success as a Sports
Performance Coach, how she has blazed a trail forward, the
principles she has used for developing champions and how you can
do the same.


Sports performance coach Molly Binetti brought her
athlete-centered coaching philosophy to South Carolina in June
2018, and the Gamecocks immediately responded to her focus on a
holistic development of mind, body and spirit.


“Molly’s passion for women’s basketball was clear right off the
bat, and that’s the kind of energy we like in our program,” South
Carolina head coach Dawn Staley said. “Her experience with
basketball and other sports gives her great perspective, and her
research background shows her commitment to her craft.”


In her three seasons on the staff, Binetti’s ability to connect
with student-athletes and develop creative and competitive
workouts has kept the Gamecocks engaged and on the court
throughout the season. South Carolina enjoyed tremendous success
in her tenure, especially in the postseason, collecting two SEC
Tournament championships and advancing to the 2021 NCAA Final
Four following a 2019 NCAA Sweet 16 run.


Binetti joined the Gamecock staff after four seasons at
Louisville working with volleyball, softball and women’s tennis.
She spent the first three of those seasons as the secondary
sports performance coach for women’s basketball as well. At
Louisville, she focused on power development and applied sport
technologies, a trend she continues at South Carolina. Prior to
her tenure at Louisville, Binetti served as the sports
performance coach for Purdue’s women’s tennis, men’s and women’s
diving and cheerleading teams (2013-14).


The Eau Claire, Wis., native has her Strength and Conditioning
Coach certification from the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning
Coaches Association and is listed as a Certified Strength and
Conditioning Specialist and a Registered Strength and
Conditioning Coach by the National Strength and Conditioning
Association. She has contributed to two articles published in
the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, both
focused on the performance of elite women’s basketball athletes.


After earning her bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology from
Marquette in 2012, Binetti completed her master’s in kinesiology
and exercise science at Minnesota in 2013.
