Kate Cryderman
Head Coach Silver Team - 1st year
Kate has spent much of her life around basketball—as a player, coach, and now sports medicine professional. She played small forward and center at Northwest Nazarene University, where she earned her B.S. in Biology, before earning her Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery from Samuel Merritt University. After completing her residency in Rochester, New York, she now practices at Washington Foot & Ankle Sports Medicine in Kirkland.
Before that, Kate attended Juanita High School, earning two First-Team All-KingCo 3A honors and KingCo 3A League MVP. She later coached AAU with Flash Basketball in Boise and served as an Assistant Coach at Northwest Nazarene during the 2018–2019 season, when the Nighthawks won the GNAC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament.
Off the court, Kate loves traveling, golfing, spending time with her nieces and nephews, and spoiling her French Bulldog, Harley.
A former Way to Winner, Kate personally experienced the impact of the program and is thrilled to give back. She’s excited to get back on the court and support Way to Win athletes—helping them grow, stay healthy, and thrive both on and off the court!
