More About Coach Nakeechia

My most recent coaching experience was the assistant coaching position at York Prep Academy Girl’s Varsity Patriots for the 2023-2024 season. We ended the curse of only winning 6 games a season! We ended the season with a 12-12 record. We made it to the first round of the 2024 playoffs this year. The team unfortunately had a losing season for the past 7 years. I helped the players learn the basics in order to become a better team. I went back to the fundamentals teaching them the rules of the game, how to dribble, play defense and also form shooting. Due the the allotted amount of time I was giving it was not enough time to turn their season into a championship win. But with the time I was giving, I made them love the game again. They were scoring more points in the games. They were learning the game from scratch and they loved it. After college, in 2012 I coached and trained the Girls Junior Varsity Team at Chester High School and also assisted with coaching and training for the Girls Varsity Team. I handled the strength and conditioning fitness training in the weight room. I created a more advanced practice routine for both teams. I focused a lot more on fundamentals and team chemistry. The age groups of the players I coached and trained were between 14-18 years old. I don’t have any industry certifications but as a certified point guard, I was the coach on the floor. And 99% of the time I played 40 minutes per game.

I led three different teams to a championship victory at three different levels of play. We won the championship my 8th grade year at Chester Middle School with only 5 players. We won the championship my 12th grade year at Chester High School with only 1 loss the whole season. We won the championship my junior year at Benedict College. In college we played against teams such as Tuskegee University, Clark Atlanta University, Stillman College, Payne College, etc. In High School, the year that we won the championship 99% of the time I played 40 minutes per game. College level competition was a lot different from the high school level, which is where I gained majority of my training and coaching knowledge. My assistant coach James Rice gave me a lot of insight on training and coaching on a collegiate level; fundamentals are the key to success. I took what I learned from him, my High School and Middle School coach and created a great team at Chester High School. My Girls Junior Varsity Team was undefeated up until Christmas break. The varsity coach moved my point guard up to varsity and we still only lost 3 games the entire season. After all the hard work and years of dedication, the best reward received was a Championship. The only thing that’s feels better than winning a championship, is developing players that win championships.

A typical session would start with a short conversation regarding the clients goals regarding the game of basketball. Next I will have the client stretch and do some warm up drills so we can get started. Based on the conversation we have, I will target the skills that need most improvement along with some of my very on fundamental drills needed to keep the client up to date with other skills. There will be water breaks every 10-15 min in between drills. After the workout I will have the client to stretch and do a cool down for a finish. After every session I will leave an evaluation message for each training to you’ll know the details of the training and progress
