Never get bored with simple basketball. Pass and cut, the easy pass, the one more pass, regular layups, shot fakes, pass fakes, the list goes on. There is beauty and success in the simplicity of this game!

My mom called asking me to convince my little niece to go to a free week of gymnastics camp. She picks up the phone and said “Titi I know why you’re calling and Im not going to gymnastics camp, when is bball camp?” Her first time picking up a ball and this happens. Sorry mom 🤷🏽♀️

For other young aspiring coaches like myself.. remember you don’t have to play at the highest level to be a great coach at the highest level! Keep your head down, put in the work ( extra work) and believe in yourself!!

My mental health counseling degree is so relevant to coaching. Just read about how counseling is not a “one size fits all” process. I believe the same in coaching. All of our players are different people and we need to use different approaches to reach them! Fair but not equal.

I want to preface by saying that I‘ve been a GA 3 out of the 5 years I’ve been coaching at the college level
For the first time, someone said to me “you’ve been a GA 3 times already, how much more are you going to sacrifice to make it”
My response: As long as I need to.

When my brother passed a few months ago it showed me that tomorrow really isn’t promised. That life is short, and sometimes extremely hard. Tonight, I am painfully reminded of that once again 🤍 Hug the people you love, be kind to every person you encounter, be thankful each day

My dad taught me everything I know about the game. But something that always stuck out to me was “defense travels”. You may have an off shooting night, nerves & crowd might get to you on the road, but you can always control your defense, because all that takes is heart & hustle!

Anyone can make an already great player better, can you take a player who hasn’t quite figured out how to make it click yet, and turn them into a player that can produce and be successful??

Hard work is not a light switch.. you cannot turn it on and off when you feel like it. There will come a time when you need the light to come on and the switch will be broken.

This warmed my heart in ways I can’t explain. I got into coaching to do 1 thing; grow these players as people! It’s been an honor to work with Kira, I learned so much about her and myself as a coach. She truly is a unicorn. She’s SO special. Sky is the limit

My little niece texted me today “I didn’t make the basketball team, but it’s okay”
It took everything inside me but I responded with “you’re right, it is okay and we will get you ready and you’ll make it next year”
What I really wanted to say… “what’s that coach’s name” 😂

This year will be my 2nd time being a GA. I say that because if you want something bad enough you’ll do whatever it takes to get it. In the end, I’ll have 1 Bachelors and 2 Masters. Successful people can’t get to where they are without a little sacrifice.

With my brother passing away 2 weeks ago its been increasingly hard to find the motivation to get refocused. Mourning the loss while still trying to make him proud feels impossible. This morning, I saw a cardinal on my lawn in MA for the first time in 27 years of living here. ❤️

My dad use to have me in my basement doing ball handling drills, breaking down my own game film on the living room couch and in my driveway shooting/rebounding for myself. Never appreciated it then but with this whole shut down players could learn a thing or two from that stuff!

When I was leaving she said she hoped to see me again. I went home and did some research on where she lives. I now plan to go visit her every so often. We all need people because that’s what keeps us going. It’s not everyday you meet someone with 101 years worth of knowledge!

Two nights ago at Walmart I ran into bathroom to wash my hands. Omw out a woman came in in a wheel chair. She asked me how old I was, I said 27. She smiled and said I’m 101. From there we talked for 30 minutes. I began to walk out and she grabbed my arm, she wasn’t ready to stop

Having a successful team isn’t always about having the best talent. Team chemistry and coachable players will go a lot further than extremely talented players who aren’t bought in.

If I learned anything this week it’s that when you don’t have a scheduled game to watch, go around and see as many games as possible. No matter the team or how far the court, because sometimes the game that no one is watching is the place you find that next great player!

It makes my day when I get texts from my previous players at past jobs. When it’s all said and done it’s about the relationships we’ve built and the lives we’ve impacted. It’s not about the games we’ve won.
