“So grateful Lara had Coach Sheika as her coach. I know part of the reason Lara is as confident, outgoing and independent as she is, is because of Coach Sheika. Coach Sheika helped us nurture her to the person she is today. She taught her lessons she applies on and off the court. Thank you.”

"Coach Sheika embodies everything that makes basketball extraordinary. She has created a space within women’s sports that simply did not exist in our community. This special space is rooted in strength, belonging, and purpose. She is a leader in every sense of the word: strong, fearless, and a true warrior in her craft. Beyond her skill and vision, she leads with deep compassion, consistently uplifting others and demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity. My first impression of her was one of warmth and genuine kindness, qualities that are rare and powerful in the world of basketball. As a player, I find that women’s basketball can be polarizing…everyone is sizing you up whether you can shoot or have handles. But Sheika has fostered a culture of trust and transparency that enables us to truly express ourselves in the game of basketball…absolutely no judgment! Her energy and spirit are unmistakable, and it is this combination of grace and grit that makes her exceptional. We are ALL IN with Coach Sheika!"

"Sheika created the AIB - all in women’s basketball league. She runs and owns the whole thing. She’s single handedly created a safe space for all female hoopers. It’s the coolest, most diverse and exciting thing I’ve been in. Not only that, the diversity ranges in appearance, physical form, body types, styles, and grit. There are even some females from the drew league that play here. That’s how cool Sheika is. She has a MASS network that love and respect her. I’ve met an amazing community of people because of her and this comes from the bottom of my heart, is incredible person who holds space for respect, drive, diversity, love and the passion for basketball and athletics. She represents female athletics and sports at its core."

"She is special because she has created more than just a basketball league, she’s built a genuine community. I’ve played in her women’s basketball league for about three years, and through it I’ve met some truly amazing people, many of whom have become close friends. The environment she’s created is uplifting, positive, and competitive, which makes playing the game even more meaningful. Sheika balances so much in her personal life and still manages to run a professional league, which says a lot about her dedication and work ethic. Beyond that, she’s simply a great person — funny, positive, and inspiring to be around. I have nothing but great things to say about her and the incredible work she’s done."

"Coach Sheika is not only a great basketball coach, but she is a great leader and model for cultivating a strong mind. It’s been over a decade since she was my coach, but to this day, I remember all the lessons about discipline, mastering growth, and perseverance. When I look back, I remember two key moments with her:
1. She Trusted Me and Was Patient With Me - She trusted me as a freshman and put me on the varsity team. I don’t think it was because of my basketball skills. I’m pretty sure it was because she saw how hard I worked and how determined I was. She showed me that as long as I want it bad enough, I could get there. She was patient when I was not quite at the level where I needed to be. Now, I use this same level of trust and patience when working with my team in the workforce.
2. She Coached Us Beyond the Basketball Court - Back then, she would make us run extra laps for using filler words in our sentences.
As a kid, I hated it, but now, as an adult, I could not be more grateful. She understand the small details in life that showed competency and wanted to make sure that we had those skillset. She wanted her girls to be treated with respect. She gave us skills that we use beyond the court."

“Coach Sheika is the most caring, patient, and encouraging coach out there. She knows so many different drills to help with all aspects of basketball. I couldn’t find any one close to me who had quality experience. When coach Sheika said she could come to me which was all the way from North OC to the end of South OC. Right then I knew she had a heart for basketball and for teaching. 5/5 I would recommend her for all ages and skill levels.”

“Coach Sheika is an amazing coach! She is so supportive and an encourager to her athletes. After only one session with Coach Sheika, I saw an immediate improvement in my daughters confidence level on the court. She is such a great teacher that has a gift to implement change & help young athletes to work towards their desired goals. I appreciate that Coach Sheika responded immediately to the questions that I had prior to booking and had a flexible schedule which really helped out. I appreciate that she took the time to learn more about my daughter with her current skills, position and where she needed help. She came prepared with a great plan for my daughter and gave clear instruction in her sessions. She has such a great attitude that reflects how she truly cares about the athletes that she coaches and loves what she does. What an amazing first impression of Coach Sheika! She's truly a gem and a true professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is considering someone to work with their child to inspire them to achieve their true potential and improve their skills in basketball.
