Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Je'Nya

With five years of competitive basketball experience across the NJCAA, SIAC, and NAIA D1, I’ve developed a well-rounded skill set both on and off the court. Throughout my collegiate career, I earned recognition for my work ethic, leadership, and defensive prowess, receiving the Hustle Award, Coaching Award, and Defensive Award. In high school, I was a two-time All-Time MVP, led my team to its first-ever regional championship, and maintained a strong academic focus, finishing college with a 3.6 GPA as a committed student-athlete. This blend of athletic and academic success, coupled with my dedication and passion for the game, has shaped me into a well-rounded individual ready to help others reach their full potential.

Ultimately, it’s about helping them see the bigger picture—basketball is a long-term journey, and every step, even the setbacks, is part of that growth. By creating a supportive and structured environment, I can help them rediscover their love for the game and feel empowered to keep improving.

Throughout the session, I’m focused on giving consistent feedback, tweaking form, and ensuring the athlete stays engaged. By combining skills with cardio and agility, athletes get a well-rounded workout that improves both their physical conditioning and technical abilities. Plus, by integrating individual goals into the structure, we stay focused on personal growth, making sure progress is visible after every session.

I’ve been through a couple of great coaches but Id have to say Coach Rob (previous head coach @IRSC) was by far the best coach I ever had because she truly understood what it meant to not just be a coach, but a mentor. She had this unique ability to push us to be our absolute best on the court while also being incredibly considerate of the challenges we faced as young people—dealing with growing pains, balancing school, and being away from home. She made us feel like family and turned a foreign place into something that felt like home. But what set her apart the most was her unwavering belief in us, even when we doubted ourselves. Coach Rob saw our potential when we couldn’t see it, and she consistently reminded us that we were capable of more than we thought. That kind of support and trust made all the difference in our development, both as athletes and as individuals.

Athletes and parents should know about me because I bring a unique combination of experience, dedication, and understanding to private basketball training. Having played at the NJCAA, SIAC, and NAIA D1 levels, I’ve faced the challenges athletes encounter firsthand, from refining technical skills to navigating the mental and emotional aspects of the game. I’ve been recognized for my hustle, leadership, and defense, which speaks to my commitment to excellence. More importantly, I understand the importance of balancing athletic development with personal growth. I’ve been a student-athlete with a 3.6 GPA, and I know how to help athletes excel both on the court and in the classroom. Whether it’s improving fundamentals, boosting confidence, or creating a game plan for success, I’m here to guide athletes to their full potential, and I genuinely care about their growth as both players and people.
