My name is Coach Cynthia, and I bring a passion for youth development and elite basketball training to every court I step on. I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Jr. Knicks Coaching Convention in New York, where I deepened my coaching strategies and connected with some of the best minds in youth basketball. That experience, combined with my relentless drive to build champions, fueled my work with a newly developed AAU team — which I proudly led to a championship title. I specialize in training young athletes, focusing not only on skill development but also on confidence, discipline, and teamwork. Watching players grow both on and off the court is why I coach — and why I continue to bring energy, expertise, and heart to every session. With a lifelong passion for the game, I bring years of basketball experience both on the court and from the sidelines. I played point guard in high school and earned a college basketball scholarship, where I developed a strong foundation in leadership, court vision, and strategic play. My role as a point guard sharpened my attention to detail and taught me how to lead and elevate those around me. After college, I transitioned into coaching and led a co-ed AAU team to a first-place championship finish. I specialize in developing players' basketball IQ, fundamentals, and teamwork. My coaching style is patient, positive, and tailored to each player's strengths and growth areas. Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your game, I'm committed to helping you reach your full potential on and off the court.
