Patty Gasso is the head softball coach at the University of Oklahoma. Having recently completed her 25th season at the University of Oklahoma, this NFCA Hall of Fame coach has molded the OU softball program into a national power and permanently placed herself among the elite college softball coaches in the country. Oklahoma has won four national championships, one of just three programs in NCAA history to win more than two national titles. Gasso's teams have reached the Women's College World Series 13 times during her tenure, and in the process, advanced to the postseason in each one of her 25 seasons. The OU softball success under Gasso has also spilled over into the classroom where the Sooners have been honored with 141 academic all-conference honors. Nine of those have gone on to become Academic All-Americans. Coach Gasso and her staff have consistently been recognized for their efforts on and off the field. She has also been named the Big 12 Coach of the Year 12 times including last year, and named national coach of the year multiple times.

Even with all the “on the field” success, Gasso has continued to stay focused first and foremost on honoring God personally and making disciples through the relationships she develops.  She sees her personal and spiritual impact on those she’s had the opportunity to influence as her greatest contribution—her purpose in life. You don’t want to miss this special, up-close opportunity to connect with this spiritual hero who lives out her faith daily and gets it that “ministry matters”!
