Surreal moment yesterday! Almost 10 years ago she was coaching me up, getting in my tail, and pushing me to be the best version of myself at Rutgers! Yesterday I was across the sidelines coaching against her!! Power of Impact! Love you Newt! ❤️🖤

Your circle ⭕️ should want you to win. Your circle should clap the loudest when you win. Your circle should celebrate your level up and if they don’t it’s time to get a new circle ⭕️

Thank you to the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame for electing me.

Woke up w/ a heavy ❤️The arrival of my son is approaching & it hurts that be4 he opens his eyes, he is already labeled a threat, a statistic, & possibly a thug bc of the color of his skin. Yet, my wife & I will be sure 2 love, educate, & protect our boy! We just want him 2 LIVE!
Look who’s officially joined the Osprey Family! Coach KD and her wife welcomed their new baby boy into this world on June 2nd! Meet Enzo Carter Rushdan!
Players: your closing in on the week, bodies getting fatigue, physically and mentally exhausted. Your almost done! Keep grinding! If your shot isn’t falling, find other ways to impact the game and most importantly be a great teammate!
Remember this day like it was yesterday. No greater feeling than hearing your name called to compete on one of the biggest stages in the world! Good luck to all the young ladies today that worked their tails off! Enjoy this moment, you deserve it!!

🚨 It’s like OFFICIAL OFFICIAL🚨
Couldn’t be more excited! Incredible time for the c/o of 23, embrace the moment, be grateful for the moment, but more importantly take a moment to celebrate yourselves & your hard work! Stay humble & hungry! Let’s get it ☎️ 📱

Just finished breakfast at school w/ my son & be4 I left he said “Mama, you’re my best friend in the whole world! Thank u for staying.” This profession at times doesn’t always allow 4 these moments but it’s pivotal to make sure our kids feel & know they are just as important‼️
In honor of all the McDonalds All-Americans our there! Hope you embraced, ceased, and relished these past few days. Many hope to achieve this but only a select few get to experience it! Friendships made that I still have today!!

we are fortunate to have our very own
@CoachKD_UNF
share her story.
Representation matters. We are blessed to have the Rushdan family represent UNF.
So much said in this..
It is possible and important to meet our players where they are and still maintain the standard. Fun, discipline, competitiveness and even a little silliness can co-exist.
Learned more from you than most do in a lifetime. I walk with my head high, shoulders back and feel inferior to no one bc of you. Thank you for your guidance and tough love even though it took me a minute to understand the tough was a part of the love! So proud of you!

What an incredible night for our squad! Talk about bounce back, talk about carryover! Such an amazing feeling to be a part of the joy this win brought tonight, but more importantly the joy our ladies played with!

Surround yourself with people who are going to elevate your mind and challenge you to be better! Being around people who think the same way you do and who are not smarter than you does absolutely nothing for your mental growth!
#StepOutsideYourComfortZone
Hugged my little man a little tighter and a little longer this morning before dropping him off. Heart is heavy, fear is alive and well. 💔
When will it ever be ENOUGH! This is our so called “American Dream” more like a nightmare right now!
My 🐐, my inspiration, one of my biggest role models. Love you coach and thank you for helping me become the woman I am today! Bold, strong, confident, resilient, and capable of anything I put my mind to. Bleed 🩸scarlet!!

Dear Future Ospreys,
It’s been an absolute pleasure watching you all perform day in & day out. Your effort & tenacity has not gone unnoticed! I’m pumped about taking part in your development as a student and as an athlete, but even more importantly as a young woman!

Be so confident in God’s plan, that it doesn’t rattle you when things don’t go as planned! Trusting that even when you can’t see the end line your steps are already aligned
