Breaking Glass: The Pat Summitt Story — a new documentary chronicling the late Tennessee basketball coach — will premiere across Hulu and ESPN starting March 25th.
The documentary special traces the legendary coach's path from her childhood on a farm through her 38-years tenure with the Lady Vols. Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts is backing the project via her Rockin' Robin Productions, alongside Trilogy, Tribeca Productions, and producer Don Porter.
Summitt's son Tyler told local media the film covers his mother's playing career, coaching achievements, eight NCAA titles, and her battle with Alzheimer's disease.
"The documentary shows how much she cared about other people, including her graduation rate, her efforts to help people with Alzheimer's, her support for women's sports, and the importance of family and friends," Tyler Summitt said.
Roberts met Pat Summitt in 1987 when she worked as a sports reporter in Nashville. The two stayed close for the next 29 years, with Roberts previously producing the 2013 ESPN documentary Pat XO.
The Tennessee icon retired in April 2012 with 1,098 career wins — more than any DI basketball coach at the time. She won eight championships between 1987 and 2008, with Tennessee appearing in 31 consecutive NCAA tournaments under her leadership.
Summitt died in 2016 after battling early-onset Alzheimer's disease. She was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999.
