The Performance Team
Sheex, Inc. is a woman-owned business founded by Susan Walvius and Michelle Marciniak, two former women's basketball coaches at the University of South Carolina.
Susan Walvius graduated from Virginia Tech in 1986 and went on to coach Division I women's college basketball for 21 years. She was an assistant coach at Bradley University and the University of Rhode Island before being hired as the youngest Division I head coach in the nation at Virginia Commonwealth University. Susan was the head coach at West Virginia University before finishing her career at the University of South Carolina, where she was head coach from 1997-2008 and was the 2002 Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year.
"Five years ago, I wouldn't have thought of putting our athletes in anything but cotton. But today, elite athletes wear only the latest performance fabrics because of the fabrics' breathability and softness, as well as their moisture and temperature control. It makes perfect sense to introduce the finest of these fabrics to bedding."

From basketball superstar to entrepreneur, Michelle Marciniak still approaches every challenge and opportunity with the grit and determination that made her one of the most outstanding point guards to ever play women's basketball. She carried her big-dream attitude to the University of Tennessee, playing for legendary coach Pat Summitt. A leader on the court, Michelle ran the Lady Vols offense while guiding Tennessee to the 1995 and 1996 NCAA title games. In 1996, Michelle led the Lady Vols to their fourth National Championship and secured Most Valuable Player honors. The 11-year USA Basketball veteran began her six-year professional playing career in the ABL en route to becoming a fan favorite for the WNBA's Seattle Storm. A consummate competitor, Michelle stepped into the coaching arena in 2003 as an assistant coach to Susan Walvius at the University of South Carolina. While at South Carolina, Michelle inked back-to-back top 10 nationally ranked recruiting classes.
"I'm a fitness fanatic. I fell in love with the latest technology in athletic wear several years ago and wouldn't think about wearing cotton on a run today. I've tried all the latest fabrics, and the fabric we have chosen for Sheex is the top of the line. Now that we have incorporated the fabric into our luxurious bed sheets, I wouldn't want anything else on my bed."
