More About Coach Cerie
Former Professional & Division I Basketball Player | Elite Shooting Coach
As a former Professional and Division I basketball player, I bring years of experience and a wealth of knowledge, and am open to working with any athlete committed to becoming a better shooter. As the 2011 NCAA 3-point shooting champion and NCAA leader in 3-point shooting conversion (50%) I specialize in teaching elite shooting techniques, helping athletes improve their mechanics, accuracy, and consistency. My training style is influenced by the drills and methods I used to become one of the top shooters in the country. Whether you're looking to refine your shot or elevate your overall game, I’m here to provide personalized guidance and proven strategies to help you reach your full potential as a basketball player.
•Professional basketball player in Europe
•Division-I basketball player at University of Massachusetts
•NCAA 3-point shooting champion
•Led the NCAA in 3-point shooting conversion, averaging 50% from behind the arc
•McDonalds All-American High School Nominee
•International playing experience in the US, UK, and Europe
-----SESSION PLAN-----
Becoming a great shooter or basketball player takes time, dedication, and solid fundamentals. It's about developing muscle memory, putting in the reps, and pushing yourself to improve a little bit every day. Through our sessions, I'll evaluate your current level and tailor drills specifically to meet you where you are, then build upon that with a mix of basic and advanced techniques—the same ones I used to become one of the nation's top shooters. During each session, you'll get plenty of reps in, with real-time adjustments to continually improve and fine-tune your shooting skills. After every workout, you'll receive additional drills to work on independently, helping you continue to progress between sessions. Together, we'll work to elevate your game to the next level.
-----TRAINING LOCATIONS-----
I primarily train in the suburban Boston area and am flexible on training locations. If you have a hoop at home or access to a gym/training facility, I'm happy to train you at your preferred location. If not, I can always help with finding/booking convenient training facilities for our sessions. I also frequently use outdoor public courts during the warmer months and as weather allows, so that is always an option. Please note that additional charges may apply for travel and/or facility fees.
-----EQUIPMENT-----
Athletes should wear basketball shoes and comfortable sports clothing to training sessions. They should also bring their own water bottle and basketball to each session.

My 12 year old daughter just had her first session with Coach Cerie and she left feeling energized and inspired. Cerie quickly identified some adjustments to my daughter's shooting motion and gave her lots of strategies and drills to practice. She was couldn't wait to get home and practice. My daughter also genuinely enjoyed working with Cerie and is already looking forward to their next session.

Yitzel Serna, NCAA Division III Basketball Player (Testimonial)
Coach Cerie is detail-oriented, driven, and invested in the wellbeing and success of her athletes. She constantly found ways to challenge me in drills and allotted time after our one hour sessions to check in with me and make sure we were still tracking towards our goals. I saw almost immediate improvement in my field goal accuracy and felt incredibly supported by Coach to continue to push my limits. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to train with Coach Cerie.
