    Love, Loss, & the Game That Heals

    Coach Audrey's Note:There are moments in life that shape who you become—not just as an athlete, but as a person. Moments that feel like the game stops, the air goes still, and everything you thought you knew changes. That’s what happened to Carissa. This is her truth, her pain, and her power. This is what it looks like when you choose love through loss. And when you let that love become the fuel that drives your why. Less than 48 hours before my 16th birthday, I died.Not literally, but emotionally, as I lost my best friend, my reason for everything—my PopPop. Diagnosed with cancer in 2020, I was terrified I’d lose him, just like we lost my aunt four years earlier. But I refused to think about that, convincing myself he would survive, that he’d be there for all the milestones we’d planned together: graduation, teaching me to drive, walking me down the aisle. But those plans would never happen. I’ll never forget the day my dad sat us down to tell us PopPop was sick. I had already seen his emails, but I was in denial.

    Empowered Women Empower Women. And It Starts Here.

    There’s something special about a girl who laces up her sneakers, steps onto the court, and finds her confidence in the rhythm of the game. But behind every young athlete taking that first step is a sisterhood—a legacy of women who’ve paved the way, battled through obstacles, and emerged stronger. The #GirlsInSportsProject isn’t just about the game. It’s about opportunity. It’s about empowerment. It’s about ensuring that every girl who wants to play, can.

When coach makes a change at practice & your emoti When coach makes a change at practice & your emotions flare up—⁉️

—Are you upset bc it exposed something you need to work on? 

—Did you fill in the blanks with your own insecurities?

—Do you even know why the change happened? 

Sometimes the hardest part about being coached is the quiet reflection after. 

Breathe. Reflect. Get Back 2 Work!!

When Carissa lost her grandfather—her best frien When Carissa lost her grandfather—her best friend, her bball buddy—everything changed. But instead of giving up, she got stronger. 

She kept playing. Kept healing. Kept showing up. 

Her story isn’t about grief—it’s about grit, love, and finding your WHY when everything hurts. 

@carissamarie_22 —Shared her incredibly honest & brave personal essay to inspire & to remind us that every athlete has a story behind the jersey. Pain didn’t silence her—it gave her a platform. 

We’re proud to feature Carissa as our ‘Spotlight Athlete’ in the recent issue of TheEDGE Insider.

“…The time I spend alone in the gym will reflect the results I will receive playing in a competitive game. For me, that means after a 2-hour practice getting up extra shots or going to the weight room when no one else wants to go with me.”

The game is simple. The pressure isn’t. #choosel The game is simple. The pressure isn’t. #chooselove 

Had a great opportunity to spread some love and  truth to a special group of young aspiring athletes before they jumped into playoff mode. We locked in on the ‘Simplicity’ of the game + the truth behind the pressure.  #performanceanxiety #grace + #time 

Thank you Coach Jenny @nvdgirlsbball for inviting me out to inspire her squad!! They have been killing it this season and Coach is pulling out all the stops to focus on the common goal —Championship! Go get it ladies!!! 

🚨 New Blog Post — 
The pressure doesn’t start with them — it comes from the adults around them. 

So here’s the challenge: before pushing, before planning, before expecting— pause. Ask them. Listen. Let their voice guide the process.
