Jay Wright has two children: a daughter and a son. His daughter, Jayda, is an athlete at the University of Pennsylvania, while his son Jaelin plays basketball for Hofstra University. Both of them have been able to use their father's guidance and experience in college sports to help navigate their athletic careers. As a parent, Wright takes great pride in his children’s successes on the court and off—from academic achievements to personal growth as individuals. He has openly shared how important it has been for him to be involved in their lives throughout the college process - from recruiting visits to living away from home for school. Even with all of his success as one of the most well-known coaches in NCAA Division I basketball history, nothing compares with being able to watch his kids make memories on campus that will last a lifetime.
