Imani A.

As a recent 2024 college graduate and former student-athlete, I have extensive experience training athletes across a wide range of age groups and skill levels, including collegiate, high school, middle school, and elementary students. My professional background includes serving as a personal trainer at Equinox and working as a basketball skills trainer with Unknown Talent Basketball and District Basketball Club. I am a NASM-certified personal trainer and hold current first aid and CPR certifications, ensuring that safety and proper technique are always top priorities in my training sessions. Through these roles, I’ve had the opportunity to support athletes in developing both their physical conditioning and sport-specific skills in a structured, motivating environment.

Being named Freshman of the Year for the 2022–2023 season at Clarendon College in Texas was a major milestone in my basketball journey. It was my first year playing at the college level, and I worked hard to adjust to the speed and intensity of the game. That award showed me that my preparation, focus, and effort were paying off.

In my 2023–2024 sophomore season at Richard Bland College in Virginia, I continued to build on that momentum. I focused on developing as both a player and a leader, working to elevate my game and help my team in every way possible. Being named Sophomore of the Year was a huge honor that reflected not just individual performance, but also the growth I made throughout the season. Both awards mean a lot to me and remind me to keep pushing forward.

Clients and young athletes can expect highly focused, detail-oriented training sessions that emphasize volume shooting, the development of creativity on the court, and the development of crafty ball-handling skills. My approach is all about building confidence through repetition and helping players understand the “why” behind each drill. I work closely with each athlete to strengthen their fundamentals, improve decision-making in game situations, and encourage them to play with freedom and intensity. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level, every session is designed to push you, support your growth, and make sure you leave better than you came.
