Alicia T.

My name is Alicia Thompson. I am a former WNBA basketball player and two sport
collegiate athlete (basketball and track) from Texas Tech University. I spent six years in the WNBA (9th Overall Draft Pick) with three different teams; New York Liberty, Indiana Fever, and the 2004 WNBA Champion Seattle Storm. Other basketball experience includes playing on 5 teams in 4 different countries overseas.
My basketball coaching experience began with an AAU Summer League team while being in
college at Tech; in later years coaching my own A.T. Elite to a 2nd Place National Trophy. I’ve spent many years teaching basketball skills and fundamentals to athletes with goals of achieving college scholarships, starting on their school teams, and making the team via team try-outs. All of my clients have been successful in achieving these goals under my direction and coaching.
I’ve been coaching high school basketball for 4 years; three of them as an assistant coach. I
was given the head coaching position at Lubbock High School last year, and in my first year as a
head coach, took the Varsity Girls team to the play-offs for the first time in school history. Along
with making the playoffs for the first time in history, the team accomplished many other
historical landmarks. With my basketball coaching experience, I also bring the knowledge of Sports Performance, Personal Training, Strength and Conditioning, Corrective Exercise, Nutrition, Yoga and Meditation. I am also currently working on my ACE Certified Training Certification and have trained at Athlete's Performance Institute as a performance specialist.
I’ve spent all of my years since retirement from the league working with clients from elementary
to professional athletic levels in all sports including soccer, baseball, and football.
I would love the opportunity to work with you, as I know my expertise in all of the
above areas will enhance the performance of your athlete. Thank you so much for your time
and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

I am a former collegiate (Texas Tech University) and WNBA / Euroleague professional athlete; retiring from each of those leagues in 2005 and 2007 respectively. I have competed in several countries across the globe, Spain, Israel, and Turkey, to name a few; including Taiwan as a member of the Junior National Olympic Team.

My clients can expect a positive, fun, yet effective training environment in which he/she will be held accountable and pushed to his/her fullest potential on all levels; mind, body, soul, spirit! Each program will be tailored to meet specific goals with the client playing a huge part in their development of success. With knowledge ranging from sports performance to nutrition, and through years of experience as a professional athlete; I have compounded the teachings of the many systems and programs I was a part of. This has allowed me to see and experience what works versus what doesn't work in producing optimal levels of performance. My session would include, warm-up, drills tailored to the client's needs (stationary ball-handling,etc), we would include ladder work if they needed speed and jump training if they needed to increase their vertical jump.
