POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
This year at PGC has been a special one for me, especially because it came during a transition in my basketball journey. I officially finished my college playing career this past spring, and for the first time, I’ve had to start thinking about what my future in the game looks like beyond being a player.

PGC helped me realize that my story in basketball doesn’t end when my playing career does.

Throughout this year, I’ve grown in my confidence, my communication, my understanding of the game, and most importantly, my ability to lead. Those are things I know I’ll carry with me into this next chapter.

I’m incredibly grateful to now have the opportunity to step into a college basketball assistant coaching role. Being able to go from playing the game I love to helping teach, develop, encourage, and lead other athletes is something I’m genuinely excited about.

There’s definitely a lot I still have to learn, but PGC has given me the confidence to trust my voice and believe that I have something valuable to offer as a coach.

My playing career may have ended this spring, but God has shown me that the end of one chapter can be the beginning of something even greater. 

My life verse has always been Romans 8:31: “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

I’m trusting God with this next chapter, trusting the process, and trusting that every step has been preparing me for where I’m supposed to be.

From player…. to coach. 🏀
God isn’t finished with my story yet. 🙏🏽❤️

If you would have told me just over six years ago when I walked into my first camp with @pgcbasketball would have been the first of countless memories, friendships/relationships, and opportunities that would open up over the last 6 years I would have called you crazy…

But here we are, at the end of year two on staff with PGC just full of gratitude and appreciation for getting to spend my summers getting to pour into and invest in these athletes lives, and not just in basketball but in all aspects of life. But also for these athletes and coworkers who take their time to invest and pour into me. I don’t think some of those people will ever realize the impact they have made on me and my life. 

I am so grateful for the relationships that I have gained through the summer of working with PGC and cannot wait to keep growing those as well as creating more in the years to come.

I am grateful that through the long days and late nights I get to see the growth in these athletes that they now get to take back home and teach others.

Thank you @pgcbasketball for continuing to letting me be a small part of these athletes journeys!
