The only female head coach in the Turkish Women's Basketball Super League has expressed her gratitude towards the strong Iranian women who have shown their support for her.

Selen Erdem has recently gained considerable attention among Iranians, particularly following images of her coaching the Antalya Toroslar basketball team.

In response to the outpouring of support from Iranian women, Erdem shared a heartfelt message, stating, "I am thankful to the strong Iranian women who did not hesitate to support me." She also extended her warm embrace and love from Turkey to the people of Iran, expressing hope for a future meeting in the shortest time possible. She added, "I am very happy to have you. You are extraordinary. Strong women make a better world."

Erdem's distinctive approach and her determination to break barriers in the world of sports have led to comparisons with famous Turkish football coach Fatih Terim, as she continues to inspire and pave the way for more women in the field of coaching.

She is known for her unique approach, which includes running around the court in high-heeled shoes, which she considers "indispensable." During matches, she can be seen taking a knee to give tactical instructions to her players, actively engaging in every aspect of the game.
