Coach Bev Kearney

Bev Kearney is a living example that greatness is still possible despite the obstacles that we face.

Founder of InPursuit of Dreams, Inc., Bev's passion and gift for coaching, consulting, and mentoring has inspired individuals and groups in various professions to achieve their greatest successes.

Recognized as one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history, Bev has been inducted to various halls of fame as a sports legend including the prestigious International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame. Her record of seven national championships is one of the highest among African-American and Female coaches in the country.

However, Bev, herself, is no stranger to transition and crisis. In her senior year of high school, she lost her mother and was homeless by the age of 17. However, she never let circumstances deter her as she forged on through college and graduate school as a standout athlete and academic scholar.

To call Bev a “survivor” would be a gross understatement in describing the woman who triumphed over a near-fatal automobile accident in 2002. The accident left her in a wheelchair with repeated diagnoses that she would never walk again. Beverly persisted with the spirit of a lioness in pursuit. She coached from a wheelchair and then from a walker and finally on a cane, ultimately adding two more national championships to her record.
