Nia Coffey

She says she didn't start taking basketball seriously until her sophomore year of college, however, I'd argue she was taking it pretty seriously when she was doing baseline to baseline lunges with her dad and siblings while still in elementary school.  Nia Coffey comes from an exceptional gene pool.  Her father played in the NBA, mom ran track, her brother just got drafted and both Nia and her sister received college basketball scholarships.  When she herself was drafted in 2017, however, those genes weren't necessarily her ticket to success.  There were bigger, faster, stronger women in the WNBA and now Nia needed to focus on her basketball IQ, working smarter not harder and keeping herself healthy both mentally and physically.  She's had an action packed four years since graduation, playing in multiple states and multiple countries.  She has some great advice when it comes to picking a school as well as giving yourself time, patience and grace.  Listen in, this episode is not to be missed!
