Our daughter has become a better player, but more importantly she’s grown into a better leader and teammate with coach Grace.

I highly recommend Grace as an exceptional mentor for young basketball players, both boys and girls. Over the years, Grace has worked closely with my daughter as her personal coach, and mentor, guiding her development both on and off the court. Grace emphasizes self-discipline and mental toughness, helping instill confidence in each of her players. My daughter has blossomed under her dedicated coaching and mentorship—her ball handling, shooting, and defensive skills have all drastically improved. Additionally, my daughter has learned competitiveness, teamwork, and how to accept both successes and failures with poise. Grace inspires young athletes to bring their best selves to the sport and to life. Her compassionate yet firm approach yields powerful results in developing confident, disciplined student-athletes positioned for lifelong personal and athletic success. I can promise you that Grace will make a positive impact on your child's development both on and off the court. I have seen it firsthand.

I approached Grace, who was a Senior at Marist, in early 2020 about helping train our local Girls' High School AAU team in the Spring.   I had never met Grace, let alone spoken a word to her before this conversation.   Grace was 100% on board and excited for the opportunity.   Unfortunately, we did not have a season due to Covid.   That did not stop Grace's love for working with kids and basketball.   She orchestrated online virtual training sessions for our team which soon expanded to our entire AAU organization.  Training sessions were intense with "offline" competitions that kept the girls motivated.  Grace also was a big supporter of my daughter.  They held 1 on 1 training sessions weekly throughout the Summer and Fall.   My daughter grew from a player with limited minutes Junior year, into a role player who earned All Section honors her Senior year.  Grace showed extreme interest in high school athletes continuing to play sports in college.  She sent numerous letters and calls of recommendations for my daughter, advertising her abilities to college coaches in the area.   The experience my daughter had with Grace is unmatched in her high school years.   Her ability to tweak and polish a players' skills is something you do not often see.   This is complemented by her passion for the game and watching young players grow.  It was a pleasure seeing her "do her thing".

Grace is an exceptional coach, mentor, and role model to our daughter. Her lessons are creative and specifically tailored to meet the needs of my child which has enhanced her skill set, knowledge, and love for the game. I think Grace’s best quality is her desire to honor God at all times. We value genuine Godly influences for our child in all areas of her life, and Grace fits the bill beautifully. She is the complete package and we feel blessed that she has been and will continue to be a part of our daughter’s basketball journey.
