Bay State Jaguars Alumn

Each coaching/training session will be focused on skill development. My coaching philosophy is big on fundamentals, footwork, shooting mechanics, and ball handling. My goal is to not only challenge but also instill confidence within my players. As a young athlete, I often struggled with confidence. It wasn't until I started doing individual sessions, where my skills started to carry over into games. I love working with all ages and skills levels. I've also have developed a strong understanding of the in's and out's of college recruiting.

Client Reviews

Sarah is an excellent coach. She was very quickly able to assess what my son needed to work on. She connected with him and really challenged him to work on his weaknesses. Looking forward to another session soon!

We had a very good experience with Sarah

Coach Sarah was a great coach! She pushed me to my full potential. She gave great feedback and was positive throughout all the sessions! I would definitely recommend Sarah as a coach for anyone who is trying to bring their game to the next level!

First session was great and my son is asking for more

Coach Sarah encourages me to be at my best every session. I see improvements from one workout to the next. Coach gives me drills to work on and I am more confident in my play because of our sessions. Coach Sarah is the best!

Coach Sarah is a very respectful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a clear communicator. My 11yrs old son warmed up to her very fast and has continued to enjoy working with her. I would recommend coach Sarah to anyone.

Coach Sarah did an excellent job interacting with my son and myself. She did a great job helping him with his shot mechanics and he looks forward to working with her again.

My daughter is entering 8th grade and absolutely loved working with Coach Sarah. Sarah is an excellent teacher of the game and she is always positive, upbeat, and encouraging. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

We love working with you Coach Sarah! Thank you for building up Shannon’s confidence and raising the level of her play. Each session we can see great improvement. 👍

We have an 8 year old daughter with only a year of organized basketball experience. We've used several coaches and trainers for our kids in various sports but Sarah stands out above the rest. She had an ability to communicate more effectively with our daughter than anyone else we've ever used. Her ability to translate difficult coordination and shooting skills to our daughter in easy to understand terms, while having a lot of fun was truly impressive. We were so happy with Sarah's ability to relate to our daughter and peak her interest in working on getting better that we hope to have her back for years to come. " - Tom L.
