Candice Williams earned her doctorate in 2017 after graduating from Sam Houston State University in 2011. Williams’ focus at university was on researching mental health issues in elite athletes.
It’s no surprise that the Boston Celtics hired her given her impressive credentials. Despite the loss in the Finals, the team had a fantastic season, and there is no doubt that she can help the players even more. Her professional connection to Ime Udoka is unknown at this time. However, they had to have spent some time together during the offseason. After all, Udoka is an important member of the team and must be aware of how his teammates are feeling.
Candice Williams, along with Ashley Battle (Scout) and Allison Feaster (Vice President of Player Development & Organizational Growth), is one of the Celtics’ three female staff members, which is why she’s been linked to Ime Udoka.
