"Cora has made a HUGE impact on my game. She held me to a high standard, which lead to some practices being tough, but she always encouraged me and supported me to finish strong. Cora had a remarkable ability to see potential in me which I couldn’t yet see in myself. With her tough yet fair coaching, I began to see a bit of what she saw. Within just a year she has made me a player that I wouldn’t have recognized. I have had many coaches, but Cora will always stick out to me among them. That’s not only because she made me a significantly better player, but because she also focused on the mental aspect of the game. She always took time, whether it was 5 minutes or 25, to talk about the mental game and how I was doing on that perspective of the game. In prior years of playing, I would constantly get in my head and visibly lacked confidence. No other coach seemed to realize, or care. But once I met Cora, she noticed all of that and she helped me learn more about the mental aspect of the game, and how to improve it. Throughout our practices, she instilled confidence in me that extended beyond the court. Cora is definitely the best coach I have ever had, and that anyone will ever have.
