Lindsey Yamasaki – Basketball

Lindsey Yamasaki(Born June 2, 1980) A native of Oregon City, Lindsey Yamasaki might be from a small town, but she’s accomplished some big-time goals.
During her time at Oregon City High School, she led the team to four consecutive State Championships and was unanimously selected as a senior First Team All-American by USA Today, Nike, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal, and Parade magazine… just to name a few.

Also as a senior, she was named as Gatorade’s Oregon Player of the Year for both basketball and volleyball. And like all athletes dream of, Lindsey made her way into Sports Illustrated magazine as the Old Spice Athlete of the Month for March, 1998.

With such power and versatility, Lindsey was one of the top recruits out of high school, ultimately heading to Stanford University on a full scholarship. There, she helped the Cardinal to four NCAA Tournament appearances and earned All-Pac-10 awards before going on to play professionally in Europe and the WNBA.

Through Lindsey’s great success, she’s remained humble and incredibly close with her family. She went on to coach basketball, and now takes charge in the business world as a Principal at a premier executive search firm in San Francisco.
