All I needed when I was playing college basketball was just one Coach to tell me that my worth didn’t rely on how I performed on the court
I didn’t have that
Now I will always remind our players they are intelligent, beautiful, strong women, regardless of how they’re performing
You in Louisville or Birmingham????
You wanna be a part of something GREAT????
You wanna help us get back to the top????
You ready to be a Chippewa?!?
Drop those schedules 🤪🤪

It’s all about “fit”.
All you need is ONE coach to believe in you.
Find where you’re wanted AND needed.
Find the people who care about YOU as a person.
Find the system that highlights your talents, and the staff that will develop you.
What’s best for YOU.
THE PEOPLE MAKE THE PLACE.
I will stand ten toes behind this one…
Location. Facilities. Gear. Perks. All positives.
But NONE of that matters if you aren’t surrounded by GOOD PEOPLE.
Life update🤪🤪
Soooo excited to be a part of this staff and this team!!
HUGE thank you to
@kristinhaynie

Just showing up and doing what you’re supposed to do at practice isn’t enough... unless you want a mediocre season. You HAVE to put in extra. You HAVE to do more than just what is asked of you. You can’t do average work, and expect excellent results. Put in the extra time NOW.
There are plenty of clips that could be considered “Play of the Game” from last night.
But THIS is the one!!!
The way these young women love one another and play for one another is very apparent.
Every. Single. Player. Sprinting to help their teammate.

People laughing. But this is real. Man, that’s what you gotta do. Ain’t no “I got hit by the screen, I couldn’t get there coach.” YOU GETTIN THERE! Lol That’s just smart basketball if you ask me 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

I want to be the type of energy that no matter where I go, or where I am, I always add value to the spaces and lives of those around me.
I want to genuinely add to someone’s life in the most positive way possible.
Project what you wish to receive. 💆🏻♀️🧘🏻♂️
I’m a HUGE believer in the idea that we should create energy, not match energy.
I’m never going to dim my light because yours isn’t shining.
I’m here to bring the energy, passion, and love.
Your negativity isn’t going to change who I am. 🫶🏻
Not only did I have a GREAT time watching some future Guins absolutely ball out this weekend, but I also got to spend time with the woman who gave me my first chance.
All it takes is ONE person to believe in you. Thankful for you and your consistent mentorship/friendship. 🥹🫶🏻
Elite camp was TOP TIER today!!!
One of the best ones I’ve been a part of. More talent than we could have ever hoped for!!
Thank you to all of the campers and BIG thank you to all of the parents/guardians who made it happen!!
See y’all next year🖤❤️🐧

Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path. Trust that the rain in your life has a purpose. God’s timing is always on time.
When one of my players txt me asking if she and her teammates can come to church with me... y’all. My heart is so full. God’s love is without words. This is why we do it.. so much bigger than a game. Use your pedestal to change lives in the right way.

Waking up thankful that God gave me another chance to get it right today. You are here for a reason. God created you with a purpose. Be someone’s light today. Be someone’s reason to hold on. We are His children, and we are in this together.
#MyGodIsGreater
It’s okay to not be okay. I promise there are people who want to help. I promise there are people that love you. I promise it CAN, and WILL get better. I promise you are gonna make it. God is Love. He will always prevail.
I love love love basketball. But I’m telling you, what makes all of this worth it, the relationships with my players along the way. Those young women bring me so much joy. I’m just thankful God gave me basketball as a platform to meet them, help them grow, and love them.
Surround yourself with people who have the same mindset, same desire, same drive, and same fight as you. You are who you surround yourself with. You can’t expect to make progression to your goals if you aren’t surrounded by those who push you to reach them.
BIG happy birthday shoutout to my not so little brother. Not only is it his birthday y’all, but he also JUST got offered his first job as a professional football player! Couldn’t be more proud to be his sister! I love you, bud.

The BEST part of the recruiting process is meeting and getting to know so many kids and their parents/families.
We all talk about the relationships.. but man it’s just something about meeting GOOD people through this process.
Y’all impact my life daily.
I’m just thankful.🥹🫶🏻
We didn’t play our best basketball last night, but we found a way
I will say, our 6th man, had that place jumpin’! One of the best atmospheres I’ve had the chance to Coach in
