About Rebecca…

Rebecca Harris, also known as “Bec”, is a professional basketball player as well as an author and speaker. A former University of Illinois guard, and a transfer from Rend Lake College, Rebecca has been able to continue her playing career for more than 10 years professionally. From her seasons of playing abroad to the summers spent playing in the U.S., every season has brought new challenges and great memories that she shines a light on. During the 2012, 2016, and 2017 seasons she took the opportunity to remain in the states and coach at the high school and collegiate levels. In her spare time off the court she likes to dive into a good book, travel the world, and write! Most recently she published a book titled, “How Bad Do YOU Want It!?” which is a guide to help others achieve their goals of making it to their next level while pushing through adversity. This proud Fighting Illini alum is a military brat that is accustomed to adapting to the world and cultures around her all while sharing her experiences with others along the way!
