I earned a scholarship to Stanford University where we were Pac-10 Champs, earned All-Academic Pac-10. I was coached by Tara Vanderveer, Olympic Gold Coach, Amy Tucker, Karen Middleton and Julie Rousseau. Education has always been very important to me and there is no place that can compete with the dynamic environment that Stanford provides. I felt at home amongst the most motivated, inspiring, creative and talented individuals. Many great friendships were made, including my roommate who went on to win a Gold in Sydney as a swimmer.

There is nothing like representing something larger than you. USA Basketball brings the most talented individuals in the country together to reach a common goal, a gold medal. Representing the entire country in international play brings a sense of pride that is hard to describe. My coach reminded us that the three letters on the front of our jerseys were far more important than any name that could be placed on the back. Life lessons and dynamic skills sets are acquired through such competitive environments. Competitive is an understatement. There is nothing I wanted more than to represent my country and win a gold. Training hard, recovery and mental toughness came together to make it happen. I looked at supposed challenges as opportunities; the small things did not get in the way (the time zones, travel, new cultural norms). Basketball has provided me incredible cultural opportunities; my USA Basketball team won a gold medal at the Jr. Olympics in Brazil.

My kids and I were pleased. Carolyn is very experienced with what she does and was a great fit for my two kids. My kids have already started to incorporate what they learned into their game. Can't wait for our next session.

Coach Carolyn is a great coach, and my daughter really enjoyed her session with her! She was both very knowledgeable, and very encouraging. They worked on several different aspects of the game, and now my daughter has some things to work on between coaching sessions, as well as some things to try in games. If she can do that, I'm sure what Coach Carolyn has laid out for her will really boost her confidence on the court. Highly recommend!

Coach Carolyn had a complete curriculum which ran very smoothly. Our son understood the message and was able to follow each step, and enjoy them at the same time. She has a great grasp of student/child's preferences and personalities, and worked very well with him to get the fundamentals understood, practiced, and at the same time enjoy the entire time. Highly recommended.

Coach Carolyn, Has shown great flexibility in scheduling, communicates frequently and relates easily with my daughter. I think she is the coach my daughter needs to get her game where she wants it to be.

Carolyn is like no other coach. She is detail and knowledgeable about the game. She instructs at each players level while maintaining excellent standards. Her positivity and passion are contagious. My daughter took to her and her instruction instantly. She is the perfect fit for both male and female players.

Coach Caroline gathered information on my player, tested and then designed instruction. She was able to look at what my player could do, challenge and instruct in a positive way. My player could understand her well and could step up to the next level.

As such, we are pleased with the progress our daughter has made in all facets of her game. Carolyn Moos offers the “entire package” of coaching. Her basketball career and achievements prove she has the knowledge and ability as one of the best. It’s her ability to communicate with the players, teach them life skills and truly care about the individual is what sets her a part. She is an amazing coach and individual who makes a clear difference a short amount of time. Carolyn is consistent in her messages on health, wellness, fitness, nutrition and fitness. She practices what she teaches and is a great role model. Carolyn realizes that each client has their own personal potential. She helps them set goals that are specific to their immediate and long term future. Progress is seen in all she implements. Carolyn Moos has true passion for helping people realize their goals. Her passion for fitness, nutrition and youth basketball is very apparent in all that she does to help inspire, motivate and shape those she works with on and off the court. Carolyn has been coaching our 11 year old daughter in basketball for several months and we couldn’t be happier with the progress! Carolyn coaches the whole person–mind, body and spirit–and has a genuine care and concern for her athletes. Her positive outlook and attitude makes her an outstanding role model. We are so pleased to have Carolyn as a coach and know our daughter is benefiting greatly! After my first session with Carolyn, I knew she was the real deal. She understood which specific combinations of weights to lift, how to lift them, ratios of rest to work, and gave good explanation of why we were doing different routines. The more I worked with her the more I realized how the way I was training before was not allowing me to progress. I went to my first national tournament since training with her. Carolyn helped me work through the psychological aspects of sport – this was something I had never considered as benefiting my performance. We covered setting goals, thinking positively and internal dialogue. I met with her while preparing for the junior Olympics, and when my time came to perform, I wasn’t nervous at all. I believed in the skills I had and in the training I had done with Carolyn. She so often says “Success is when preparation meets opportunity.” I utilized what I had learned from Carolyn to walk the psychological line that gave me the victory against someone of similar top level skill. Without Carolyn’s help I never would have gone as far as I did. The training I have with Carolyn Moos has transformed me. I have a completely different prospective on how I look at exercise and nutrition. Carolyn has a great talent to guide, encourage, and motivate you. She is by far the best trainer I have had in my life. I highly endorse Carolyn to anyone who wants get a jump start to their goals! Since working with Carolyn I feel like a new person and I can’t imagine going back to my previous lifestyle choices! Carolyn’s work speaks to connecting the mind with the body, which has been key in shaping my motivation and the way I now look at leading a healthy lifestyle. I look forward to every session because I never know what to expect, and the different workouts are very engaging. Carolyn addresses the complete package, providing a very strong foundation of knowledge about nutrition, macronutrient profiling and the GI index that not only helps to give me energy for her workouts, but for the entire day.
