Joan Joyce is considered by many to be the Greatest Female Athlete in Sports History. Joan began her incredible softball and basketball career at the tender age of 13. Inducted into an amazing 21 Halls of Fame, Joan starred at a very high level in Softball, Basketball, “Power” Volleyball, Golf, and Bowling. Joan was a referee (34 years), University Golf Coach (18 years), successful FAU Head Softball Coach (nearly 30 years), and overall coach for over 60 years!

She struck out Ted Williams (several occasions), Hank Aaron, and other MLB greats. Her professional golf record of 17 putts in one round, set a ladies’ and men’s professional record - and has not been broken in over 40 years!

There will always be athletes who excel in a particular sport, but there will never be another Joan Joyce!
