More About Coach Sydney

I have worked with all ages from elementary to collegiate. I coached with Elite Hoops Basketball for two years, eighth grade feeder team for two seasons, I was an assistant varsity coach at Hiram High School for 5 years, and a head coach for the junior varsity team at Hiram High for 3 years. Throughout the past six years, I have both coached and trained players during my coaching career.

I have won two championship rings; one in high school, and one in college. I played two years at a JUCO and two years at Life University (NAIA D1) in the MidSouth Conference. I also currently compete at the semi-professional level with former collegiate, and professional overseas and WNBA players.

When working with me, a client can expect to work on ball handling, footwork, shooting, shot versatility, finishing with contact, change of speed and direction, and decision making. At the beginning of workouts, I typically begin with ball handling and moves to the basket. Additionally, I may add drills for footwork and passing. I consider ball handling, finishes around the rim, and footwork as the warm-up; a basis for the rest of the workout. Everything we do at the beginning leads to everything else we will work on such as shooting and creating space to get shots off. Not every session will be exactly the same. I carefully design each session based on strengths and weaknesses that I have observed during prior sessions. I also plan sessions that I know will challenge my clients, placing an emphasis on both strengths and weaknesses.

Client Reviews

Best decision we made was signing up with Coach Sydney. When my niece first started working with her, she had zero basketball playing experience . From the very beginning, Sydney showed incredible patience, encouragement, and professionalism. She took the time to teach her the fundamentals, step by step, and made every session fun and engaging.

What stands out most is Sydney’s dedication and ability to bring out confidence in her players. She meets them where they are and helps them grow, not just in skill but in mindset. Watching my niece’s progress over time has been amazing; her improvement has been drastic, and it’s clear that Sydney’s coaching has played a huge part in that.

We’re truly grateful for all the effort, time, and heart Sydney puts into every session. She’s not just teaching basketball; she’s building discipline, teamwork, and self-belief. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who genuinely cares about her players’ development both on and off the court.

Coach Sydney was great. Very patient and very dedicated!

Great experience! She's super nice, explains everything clearly, and always keeps me motivated. I really appreciate her encouraging attitude and attention to detail.

Great Coach. Very professional and knowledgeable on the game. She was very patient with my first year beginner son. I can truly see the difference in his skills now.I would highly recommend Coach Sydney....

Being coached by Coach Syd was an incredible and inspiring experience. Her passion for basketball and dedication to coaching were evident in everything she did. Having a coach who genuinely loves the sport is essential for effective coaching, and Coach Syd exemplified that. She consistently challenged our team because she recognized our potential and believed that, with hard work and determination, we could make it far.
Excellent
I like the fact that I am pushed no matter what, and we work on real life game situations rather than just some random drills. I also like that she comes to some of my games to watch and pinpoint my weaknesses and what I need to work on for the next couple of sessions.
Working with Heart of Hoops has been fantastic and i’ve seen tremendous growth and improvement in my skills.
Coach Syd worked on in game situations but she also talked me through it to show if a move doesn’t work you can still make something out of it thats what makes her a good trainer she explains situational workouts.
She’s really committed to getting you better in every aspect, ball handling, shooting, IQ, etc! Also, pay attention to little things to get your game in tip top shape.
She was the best coach I’ve ever had—always pushing me to improve both on and off the court while supporting me every step of the way.
She’s very earnest about what she does, whenever she would coach my team she would always push us to be the best we could be.
Best trainer out!! Very motivational, knowledgeable & supportive. I feel confident in myself when training with Coach Syd. She always let me know the sky is the limit when training with her.
