❤️🏀 “SHE COMPLETELY CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF MY LIFE.”

Some coaches impact your GAME.

Others impact your LIFE.

For Coach Peanut, Colorado head coach JR Payne and her staff did the latter.

During one of the lowest moments of Peanut’s life, Coach Payne and her staff didn’t just see a basketball player.

They saw the PERSON.

“They believed in me. They loved me.”

And when Peanut needed it most, they surrounded her with unconditional love and poured into her in a way she says changed her entire life. ❤️

“I don’t know where I would be without her and that entire coaching staff.”

Today, Peanut says those experiences helped mold her into the WOMAN and COACH she is now.

THAT is coaching. 💯

Sometimes the greatest impact a coach makes will NEVER show up in the record book.
