Younger players/parents new to the girls basketball social media community. Please know two things. 1- Do not believe everything you see on IG/Twitter. 2- It’s okay to work in silence. Let your preparation speak for itself when it’s game time. ✌🏻&💙
One of the coolest parts of coaching is seeing your players dreams turn reality. I told Kate Mager before her commitment that I would always be available to get shots up and she held me to that - EVERY SINGLE DAY! Congratulations to the best shooter in the country.
So it appears that today I captured my 50th career win as the girls varsity coach at Masters. Special thanks to my players for always giving me their best effort on the court. Let’s keep working, the best is yet to come. 🙏🏻
First eval period in year 10 that I’ll be sitting on the baseline instead of coaching from the sidelines. This journey is so amazing. Best of luck to everyone competing this weekend. We’re at Spooky 👀 for future Gaels!
Wishing all teams, players and families a strong and healthy finish to the summer. To the ‘25 class; empty the tank and enjoy every moment. The end of one chapter is just the beginning of a new one.

Life is so fragile. Never take a single moment for granted. To all my players and their families past or present, I love you. To anyone I’ve had conflict with, I apologize and you are forgiven. Blessings to all.
To the 12 year old boy who can barely keep his eyes open working the clock. Please wake up and add those 2 points you missed before this crazy mom behind me storms the court and gives you a spanking. 🤦🏻♂️
Huge shoutout to all the players in Atlantic City sacrificing their bodies on charge attempts and loose balls. As much as we coaches appreciate the effort - the sport courts will forever remain undefeated. Please get some rest, recover & hydrate. It is well deserved.

Somewhere in America there is an AAU coach packing his bag for the eval period thinking about his on court attire: blue tooth ✔️ sweat towel ✔️ book bag with the draw strings ✔️ jean shorts ✔️ basketballs 🤔 “ehh I’ll just ask my opponent”
Shoutout to all the AAU teams that showcased their players ability to run offense in the half court. I saw a ton of great action that helped me with my evaluations. Setting/using screens, moving without the ball are essential in how you transition to the next level. Thank you!
Three straight NYSAIS Championship appearances. Multiple double digit consecutive win streaks. Top 5 State rankings. 1k+ point scorers. Record breakers. Leaders on & off the court. Brooke & Allie, thank you! We made history. Happy Senior Day!
Yesterday we celebrated two very special players careers at senior night. Noemia Massingue and Gwenn Sabato have made such an impact not only on our team, the Masters community but also on me personally. So much love and respect for these amazing young women.

Heading into ‘21 humbled, thankful and appreciative of all I have around me. New year ahead but same goals apply. By any means, do whatever it takes! Blessings to all. ✌🏻 & 💙
