More About Coach Pavla

I have been playing hoops and training/coaching for over 15 years. I coach both female and male clientele and have helped many earn college scholarships all the way to people training just for fun, whatever a client's preference. I have also been personal training individuals to their fitness goals for many years, to lose weight, prepare for special events, and improve their health. I have trained folks as young as 7 years old up through seasoned working professional looking to improve their health.

I have played hoops at the high school, college and professional levels. I was a four-year HS letterwinner, a 2-time captain of #9 nationally-ranked D1-NJCAA Yavapai College, a 2-year letter winner at D1-NCAA IPFW in Fort Wayne, IN (in the Summit League) and played professionally in the German Professional Women's League (DBBL) for Viernheim and Quakenbrueck. I am active member of the Ghanaian National Team.

A client can expect an evaluational phone call prior to their first session to assess their goals and the things they are trying to overcome. Once we have an understanding of what they want to do and how much they will dedicate to that goal, I develop a training regimen to them that consists of three broad areas: nutrition/rest, strength/conditioning, and mental and motivational development. During our sessions, a client can expect to begin the session with a review of their nutrition and home workouts for the week, and how they went. We will then go into the strength and conditioning, combined with motivation and reassurance, and close out with home workouts, and goal setting for the week.

I had a first session with Coach Pavla and it was simply a great experience for both my son and myself! 1 hour and a half was full of learning good techniques, basics and advices my son needed from someone with experience and skills. He said the session went really fast. Coach Pavla was honest and she told us what his good skills are and what he needs to work on. She followed up with homework and advices after the session. My son is looking forward to the second session!

Pavla does a great job meeting your needs and finds great explanations to make concepts stick. I am working with her as a player to improve my abilities as a coach, and she has done an amazing job of helping me but also giving me tips on how to adjust certain drills and workouts to my players. Definitely work with her!

Coach Pavla has been great with my 10 year old daughter. Having her as a coach has been extremely beneficial. She helps build confidence and goals. We love the fact she gives homework assignments to keep the athletes working and conditioning. She also provides insight on goals the athlete should achieve based on sessions, strengths, and areas for improvement.

Coach Pavla is just amazing! In only one session, my son felt the difference in his game. She's very thorough and gives homework ( like which exercises to do) and checks up on it. She will push you to give your best, but in a nice manner. I've had experience with a coach where sometimes they lose their cool and child gets more put off instead of being inspired. Half way through the training when my son took his water break, he actually whispered in my ear and said, "She's really good, mom!". Not only is it important to know stuff but it's an art to be able to teach it. I watched her train and she's a really great coach ! I will be very happy to recommend her to anyone :))

I booked one session with Coach Pavla for both of my kids a few weeks ago. What I initially liked about her was her responsibility; she was running a few minutes late and notified me with plenty of time that she was going to be a few minutes late. That meant a lot to me because it showed me that she does not like to waste people's time. Once the practice with the kids started, she was very patient, very detailed with the techniques she was teaching them, and most importantly very honest at the end of the session. I recommend her as a coach to any parent and I will also book more sessions with her for my kids. I know my kids will improve tremendously if they put into practice what she showed them.

Pavla has been a great coach for my son. He is learning a lot and seems to enjoy the game more and more after each session. She knows how to make him comfortable with new moves and shots and he is becoming more confident after each lesson. Thank you Pavla!

Coach Pavla was wonderful. Not only did she have great tips for my 11 year-old son, but she reached him where he was, communicated and motivated him in ways he could understanf and respond to. We give her our most high recommendation.

My daughter is 10 and is trying to start the transition from House to Select. She needs someone to help her build stronger basic skills to get to the next level. We saw amazing improvement in her game after the very first session with Pavla! She is extremely nice to work with and has a manner that gets the kids working but having fun too. Would highly recommend her. We are looking forward to more sessions in the future as our daughter continues this journey!

Coach Palva is doing a wonderful job with my son jordan. I noticed noticed improvement on his dribbling and shoot after the first training session. She's the best and jordan is happy to have her training him.

In looking for a coach for my 12 year old daughter, Coach Pavla was quick to respond and answered all my questions. After booking a session, she followed up with a phone call to ask questions about what we were looking to do during our session and she was a joy to talk to. She's very personable and connected with my daughter very quickly. She's patient, encouraging and her coaching was impressive as my daughter was able to learn quickly and desired to do more. She is now practicing all the tips Coach Pavla taught her, even outside in the cold weather. Thanks Coach Pavla!!!
