Coach Christian has been a source of positivity along with being a spark of motivation both on and off the court. Her basketball IQ and passion for the game is displayed in her coaching. She continues to develop players by enhancing their game while on the journey to success.

Ranai Evans/Player (Testimonial)

Tinekqua Christian is an awesome coach. She teaches you the basic parts of the game and then enhance your skills that will help you to advance yourself to a different level. At times she may yell, discipline, push, and work you hard, but through it all she does it because she wants to see you become the best that you can be. As they say " a coach never goes hoarse for a player with no potential." Not only is she your coach, but she often time acts like our big sister or even to some a mother figure. I have enjoyed and taken in everything that she has taught me for the last six years of my life. One thing that I will Love would be to make her my coach again!!!

Tinea' Hanley/Player (Testimonial)

Having a sister as coach was sucks at first, because I felt like she pressured and expected more out of me than the others. But as the years went by things got better and easier as I realize it was all out of Love. Tinekqua is a very great coach and she always make a bond with every team that she coach. I guarantee that every athlete that she coaches and trains will love her because not only do she spend time with them on the court but also off the court.

Geneiva Weeks/Player (Testimonial)

I started playing ball in the 9th grade and wasn't that good at it, but I loved the sport a lot. I had the run ins with many people that thought I wasn't good enough, but coach Nek saw something that other never saw, my potential and work ethics. She helped me improve my game, built my confidence, and strengthen my self esteem. She also thought me the meaning of team work. She made our team feel like a family, not only did we have a connection on the court but off as well. She made sure we worked hard to improve our game, never took it easy on us. She was more than a coach, she was a big sister we never had.

Iona Wilkinson/ Parent (Testimonial)

As the mom of Tinekqua Christian I've always seen a passion for coaching from the tender age of 11. Even the times she played on teams, she often offered intelligent advice to her coaches. I followed Tinekqua during her career from elementary to the high school level not only to support but also a parent because my youngest daughter played for her. Her IQ for the game is spectacular. What entice me the most about Tinekqua as a young female coach, was her love for the athletes on and off the court. Her concern was not about making them champions alone on the basketball court, but champions in life. One of her motto and belief is "If you create a chemistry between players off the court; the chemistry on the court becomes natural and automatic. It makes coaching much easier. I know Tinekqua ambitious and innovative ways of coaching and training will be appreciated by many parents for their child's/children future endeavors.

Owanna Stout/ Juvenile Probation Officer (Testimonial)

I have had the privilege of witnessing Coach Nek's leadership in basketball training camp. Coach Nek is very professional and knowledgeable basketball trainer. I would recommend her as a trainer for young athletes trying to work on their game. Coach Nek focuses on fundamental training and works with athletes one-on-one to address their weaknesses and maintain their strengths.

I've known Ms. Tinekqau Christian all her life. I've watch her grow from a child into a young adult. I've also coach her on different levels and she was one of my most disciplined players. I've also had the opportunity to work with her at summer camps and her work ethics is outstanding. She shows great interest in her work. I've also had the opportunity to sit on the bench and watch her coach, she's a player's coach. Thanks to her mom for raising a respectable young lady. I wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Coach Nek is one of the most devoted, persistent coaches I've been associated with. She's not just a coach to her players, she's somebody they can confide in off and on the court. She wants her players to learn the game not just play it. She tries to bring the best out of them. With hard work and a with a coach like this you're bound for success.
