Basketball has always been a huge part of my life. A game that my parents played, and was then passed down to my brother and I. As I became a more developed player I was given opportunities to work at camps, and be apart of demonstrations for speakers at camps. I loved the coaching aspect, but it was my time to inspire young players to love and appreciate the game. I always had so much fulfillment at the end of the week of camp, because I could tell how much better a player could get from the start to the end of the week. This year I have been asked to coach the 11u and 18uB team for Brunell. When I was told I was filled with excitement and nervousness. I wouldn’t be an assistant for a week with kids under the age of 9, I would be the head coach for an entire season of girls that we only 4 years younger than myself. I felt more comfortable I was also coaching 11 year olds gave me a sense of comfort, because that is more of the age that I was used to coaching at summer camp.
