6:45 this morning I sat in my gym and prayed! I have a player that would give anything to play on this floor again and can’t. For those that can….don’t take the opportunity for granted! 🙏🏽❤️🏀
I told my mom to fight until I returned and she promised me she would. She upheld her last promise to me. My mom passed away this morning. Please keep our family in your prayers. I love you Cynt Ann. 💔🕊🙏🏽
I have heard about the AAU craziness but actually experienced it first hand today. When college coaches are recruiting your child, they also look at the parents as well! Keep that in mind.
Can we talk about these prices to get into AAU games this weekend? I won’t see any of my kids play if I have to pay $70 or $91 to get in! Who is streaming? Going live? Who is taking coaches passes? Talk to me!
The college portal has opened up the floodgates for HS players to think it is acceptable to transfer schools for athletic purposes! Have some school pride! Work through adversity! Get better!

These girls had an amazing season! We weren’t in the running at the beginning of the year. I told them to prove the doubters wrong; undefeated in district, record of 31-7 & 9th in the state! these girls will be winners in life & I couldn’t be more proud! Love em like my own.✌🏽
Had an FREE unsigned Sr. open gym last week for juco coaches that was a HUGE success! One stop shop and invited multiple local kids..not just my kids. Did I say FREE! Thank you to the coaches who came out! Great opportunity for these kids! I want everyone to eat!

The start of year 9 as a head coach and year 17 in AISD! I love what I do! Wishing all my coaching friends a great season and see all of my friends and family in March! I have work to do! ❤️🏀💪🏽

Had a college coach call me about a young lady I coached 3-6 years ago to ask me about her character, work ethic & if she would be a good fit! Young players…mark my words…it matters what you do on and off the court!
#trustme
People will talk about you your entire life. It doesn’t matter what they call you, it matters what you answer to. You can’t argue/fight everyone nor control what is said but you can control if you give it any of your time and energy. Pick your battles.
D2, D3, NAIA & juco COLLEGE coaches: FREE open run this week for unsigned seniors & juco kids! DM me for information! Opportunity to see some hidden talent. My senior is signed…I just want to give other kids an opportunity if possible.

Had the opportunity to work with
@Deauzya
at the USA trials when she was in high school & she is a phenomenal young lady who never settled for anything less! Love her determination. Continue to live out your dream! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
After a collision with a teammate during a scrimmage,
@Deauzya
was left paralyzed from her hips down, unable to walk.
After rehabbing, she was back on the court for
@BaylorWBB
just 38 days later.
Now, she's continuing to live out her dream with the

The service for my mother will be next week on September 22, 2022 at 9am at the Inglewood Park Cemetery (Galleria Chapel). 720 E. Florence Ave. Inglewood, CA. 90301 Repast will follow at the Egyptian Temple No. 5 5324 Crenshaw Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. 90043
I know death is inevitable but it sucks! I miss my mom! She was my rock! My confidant! My girl! My devil’s advocate! She was real! I pray you cherish your mom if she is still here because I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone.
My seniors all have aspirations to go to college so it is my job to make that happen! HS coaches I challenge you to reach out to coaches and help your kids-academically & athletically. There is somewhere for everyone but you have to work! You ask them to work! Lead by example! 🏀
I am ONLY doing this open run solely to help kids who want to be seen & to help college coaches see kids for FREE! No hidden agenda! I love what I do & if you truly love what you do…it isn’t about money! That is all! Those who know me know! I don’t even have a kid playing!
Started a 60 day workout challenge! The goal is to workout for a minimum of 30 min. per day. It can be a 30 min walk, run, yoga workout, weight lifting, etc. whatever you want to do for 30 min. Join us!!!!

Trin is signing her NLI today! I looked at her NLI & all I could do was say THANK YOU JESUS! Please help me congratulate
@trinnico1e
& celebrate her. Thank you to all of her coaches, family & friends who have supported her along the way. We are so proud of her! ❤️🏐
Last night I was rear ended & bliss has to be towed. The inconvenience of not having a car,businesses closed on Sundays, meeting tomorrow morning & having to get a loaner (thankful for offering friends/neighbor) it is easy to take things for granted. I don’t. I am just grateful.
Tomorrow is the first day of HS basketball season in Texas and for the first time in 20 years I’m not preparing for tomorrow. Reality is setting in and it is a new season for me. Wishing everyone the best. 🏀❤️🙏🏽
I see why HS coaches are coaching AAU! Paying to get in these tournaments to watch your own kids play is ridiculous! I would pay a flat rate at the beginning of AAU season to get a membership card to get in instead of spending $10-$25 per game!
Parents…as difficult as it may be…make your child climb the mountain of adversity instead of moving it! I promise it will make your kid mentally, physically and emotionally stronger as an adult. They will “handle hard better!”
@karalawson20
The Bowie Lady Vols will play El Paso Franklin on Friday at 6:00 pm in Midland. Pray for health & traveling grace for these young ladies...and a win! 🏀❤️☺️
Coach Criss hired me and gave me a chance and I will forever be grateful to him because he has poured into me for 15 years! I have always loved his passion and thank you Coach Criss for sharing it with everyone today!

I will never quit on a kid and will do everything in my power to exhaust all options in order for them to be successful not only on the court but in life! I just don’t want them to quit on me!

always! Good to see my peeps!❤️ Big thanks to my hubby for driving because ya’ll know I don’t drive far!🤣
So proud of my kids! We went though some major trials & unfortunately the scoreboard didn’t reflect the winners that they are & will be in life! To my two senior players I wish y’all the best in your next chapter. To my returners…next year is going to be the best one yet!🏀💪🏽❤️
The 3rd or 4th time you ask the head football coach to sub in & coach a sub varsity team & he always said yes & then pulls out the whiteboard & drawing up & calling out plays I never heard! 😳🤣 Absolutely love his passion in everything he does!
@coachjsam
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I almost made it without tears but Coach T showed up & gave an impromptu speech like no other! My last end of the season celebration! To my kids…I love y’all and I will be cheering y’all on next year…just from a different seat. Coach Carruthers signing out! ✌🏽🥹❤️
The torch was passed to me 12 years ago by
@WanTeezy
who built the program from the ground up & I passed the torch this year to
@MissTrina44
& today was her first official day! I’m excited for you & we will always be here to support you & the program. Lady Vols for life! 💙🧡
So proud of
@JadaHoops
for being recognized as AISD student of the month. We missed you at our scrimmage, but this you deserved & the Lady Vols represented in your absence.

I go in the locker room and they start saying shhhhhhh….then they start acting weird, scatter like roaches & my managers started lying about needing water & then not coming back with water😂😂😂….I knew something was going on…just didn’t know what…& then this happened! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Katrina Robinson! You don’t know how much I needed the encouraging words, laughs & 🙏🏽 this morning! Call myself checking on a few of y’all and end up being blessed!Check on your friends that are coaches...we are not OK! 😳🤦🏽♀️😂🏀❤️

To all my athletes..."the worst way to fix a mistake is to come back with a verbal excuse on why you made that mistake".
THE BEST WAYS:
score 🎯
assist a teammate in scoring 🎯
get the ball back 🎯
get a defensive stop 🎯
SAY "ok Coach, I got it
