Today, at 7, his ball-handling skills, defensive ability, and overall confidence on the court have improved tremendously. What stands out most is not just the skill development, but the confidence she has instilled in him. He plays with a level of comfort and belief in himself that wasn’t there before, and that’s a direct reflection of Coach Lockett’s patience, consistency, and dedication. We are truly grateful for the impact she has had on his growth both as a player and as a young athlete.
