Meet the Team

Coach Sarah’s journey began with an ACL injury that prevented her from pursuing her own basketball career. During her rehabilitation, she taught herself how to dribble two basketballs and became known for her incredible two-ball dribbling tricks on social media. This unexpected path eventually led her to start TAKI FIT and be featured on ESPN. From there, she went on to train WNBA players, Division I athletes, and Kobe Bryant’s daughter, Gianna Bryant, and her team, the Mambas.

Coach Sarah holds a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a Pre-Physical Therapy focus, giving her a strong understanding of movement, injury prevention, and skill development. Her professional background includes working with a wide range of populations—from seniors with Parkinson’s disease to Pre-K students and professional athletes. This diverse experience allows her to meet people where they are, understand how each individual learns, and teach in a way that helps them grow with confidence.

With over 10 years of basketball training experience, Coach Sarah has developed athletes at every stage—from beginners learning the game to high-level players refining advanced skills.

When Coach Sarah encountered Jesus, she felt called to use her basketball experience and platform to help others discover God’s love through the game. Today, she uses the gifts God has given her to inspire, mentor, and develop athletes of all ages through basketball while helping them grow not only as players, but also in their faith and relationship with Christ.

With a passion for mentorship and development, Coach Sarah meets athletes where they are—whether they are just starting in kindergarten or refining advanced skills for competitive play. Rooted in faith, she emphasizes not only basketball fundamentals but also character growth, confidence, and the power of prayer. Her heart is to help athletes deepen their relationship with Jesus while developing discipline, leadership, and integrity both on and off the court. Through structured training pathways—from early fundamentals to professional-level methods—Coach Sarah empowers athletes to develop their skills, grow in character, and discover their God-given potential.
