“Don't bench your symptoms.” As the head coach of Cal Women’s Basketball, Coach Charmin Smith reminds women that taking care of your heart is a daily choice, on and off the court. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, yet many remain unaware of their risk. Coach Smith encourages women to talk to their doctor, ask questions and get the answers they deserve. “Just like in the game, speaking up can change the outcome.” Coach Smith is a member of the inaugural Go Red for Women Hearts on the Court Collective, helping the American Heart Association raise awareness about women’s cardiovascular health. “Let's all work together to live longer and healthier.” Hearts on the Court Collective x @21charmin
