* I am a Certified Cross Fit Coach and a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I am also certified in CPR/AED/First Aid through American Red Cross.

I competed at Southwest Minnesota State University, NCAA Division II from 2001-2005. In that time, I accumulated 1,645 total career points and set numerous school records including Three Point Field Goals and Assists per game. Below is a list of other notable achievements:

• Southwest Minnesota State University Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year (2004-05)
• Two-year team captain for SMSU Women’s Basketball Team (2003-04, 2004-05)

All sessions will be tailored to meet the needs and goals of the athlete.

Basic Session Format will include the following: (1) Warm-up. (2) Fundamental Focus. (3) Skill-Specific Goal Focus. Reps, Reps, Reps. (4) Cool-Down.

I believe fundamental, basic skill work is the foundation of the game no matter what level you currently or wish to compete at. Fundamental Skills include Footwork (offensive & defensive), Dribbling, Passing, and Shooting. We can also work on Position-Specific Skills such as Offensive Moves from the perimeter or Post Moves for an inside game. Physical conditioning and agility work can also be included in a session should this be a goal of the athlete.
