Over the holiday weekend, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was named the Star Tribune’s Sportsperson of the Year. Reeve remains an elite coach, having won her fourth championship with the Lynx this past season, but she’s also earned the award from her work off the court.

Here are some of the top tweets from the announcement:

Best quote in @Bloodstrib's excellent story on @LynxCoachReeve: 'The most powerful thing we do is show boys strong powerful women at a young age. When they grow up, become leaders, their mind-set is different.' https://t.co/SkWDwJWhU0 #LosLynx #WNBA pic.twitter.com/yfeydGFOFk
