Tatum Barber's career-high season has been in the works since childhood

Tatum Barber always knew she would be a collegiate athlete. But she didn’t know exactly what sport would take her there.

She spent her whole life dipping her toes in the water of different sports, but now that she’s fully dove headfirst into basketball, she knows that she made the right decision.

Barber’s passion for basketball comes from her family’s athletic background, with her father having played baseball for Missouri Valley State, and her brother Taylor plays for UT San Antonio.

Throughout her life, Barber played stints of softball, basketball, soccer, volleyball and ran track. But once high school came around, she had to make a choice on what sport she was going to focus on.
