More About Coach Samantha
I am the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Converse University. I've worked at other colleges of different levels and won a state championship as a high school coach. I work with all ages and skill sets. I usually work with guards but will work with post players as well.
I played at Birmingham-Southern College, a Division III school. I am in the top ten in multiple categories in the record book (3 pt %, 3 pts made, assists, FT %. I also played for USA Athletes International, competing in Europe in 2011.
Depending on the specific athlete's goals, it may differ. But I would start with ball handling (stationary and learning to combine that with moves), footwork, moves to the basket and finishing at the rim, and finish with shooting. I want to make sure you understand how, when, and why to do a move or how to use a skill. So I would break down each part of a move or a form.

We've had one session so far with Samantha and she has been a great coach for my son, Parker. She was prompt to respond to our requests, easy to schedule with, and was able to listen and customize his training to our needs. I would definitely recommend her!
