Bio

In 1979, Maxine "Mickey" Davis began her college teaching and coaching career at the Golden West Community College. She was the head coach for the Golden West softball team and led her squads to three state championships.

Mickey's involvement in the sport of softball extends beyond Southern California. In 1984, she was a member of the Los Angeles Olympic Committee and played a role in the development of the first US Olympic softball team in 1996. Mickey was recognized for her efforts by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch in USA's Olympic game against Japan. Mickey was also once the ambassador and clinician for the International Softball Federation.

Mickey arrived at Long Beach City College in 1989 and was instrumental in returning the college's athletic program to state and national prominence. During her tenure, LBCC captured 23 California Community College titles and three national championships. Mickey's official title for 15 years at Long Beach City College was Women's Athletic Director and Dean of Physical Education/Athletics. You would have to cut down an entire forest to get enough paper to list all the achievements and honors Davis has earned across the years since going to work at Long Beach CC.
