Kicks
I have been a loyal Nike show girl my whole life, and haven’t swayed too much as an adult. I do have a few pairs of under armor running shoes but for hoops, Nike will forever be my go to
Classics I’ve only worn a couple times but they are 🔥 and super comfy
Air Jordan 31 'CNY'
Wore these for my wedding, tix and red Bow tie to match. Ended up divorced but at least I looked fly in these!
Nike KD 13 Bred Men's
Have a few pairs of these and they are worth the price tag if you’re a runner, or even just like comfortable walking shoes. Great quality as well
Cloudrock Low Waterproof Sneaker
Got these beauties today and I can’t wait to run around the court in them! The grip is insane and love the colors.
Nike G.T. Cut 3 Basketball Shoes
Love these kicks - low and light on your feet and the inscription on the bottom is super cool.

Training Equipment
A few items that give you that extra bounce
I had 3 of these at one point when training was booming, they are great. YouTube has a ton of drills to use basketball specific or just general quickness focus. I like adding in ball handling while using the ladder as well and for more advanced playe...
Sports Agility Ladders
Jumping rope is an oldie but still a great way to increase vertical strength, quickness and endurance. Doesn’t need to be a fancy $27 one either, basic rope will do the trick.
Jump Ropes - Exercise & Fitness Accessories
These are great for partner passing, ball handling and short form shooting. Also can be used medicine ball style and held overhead for conditioning drills galore
Heavy Weight Control Basketball
Endless drills with these cones; stackable, durable and effective in drills for offensive skill work - ball handling, rip through finishes, etc.

A genre unto itself, I grew up on some of these classics and quote them often
Coming in at an easy #1 for me is Hoosiers. The quintessential small Indiana farm town team and the obstacles in their way fighting for the elusive state title (prior to classification of schools based on size). Make this one your next watch if you h...
Watch Hoosiers
I was a freshman on varsity when I saw this movie for the first time. Another great film that showcases how the high school sweethearts weave their way through each of their own basketball careers and the love they have for each other. I still think ...
Love & Basketball (2000)
So many young actors/actresses in this movie and they played their roles true to form. From Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks) the washed up manager called upon to coach a girls baseball team (foreign concept) Dottie Henson (Gina Davis) and the rest of the crew...

This man is a beast - if you haven’t read any of his books and you’re into motivational reads, he is one to look up.
David Goggins on greatness
It’s not the failure which defines you; it is how you react (or don’t) and respond to it that truly makes a difference. Success is never an overnight flip of a switch; years and years of misses, failures, being told no, and THEN the result of winning...

Women’s basketball 🏀 apparel go tos
Not sure if spandex under shorts is still a thing, but back in the early 2000s we wore our shorts at or below the knee and spandex shorts under them
Gotta have the support if you’re going to play hard! This is still the only bra I wear 🤣
Nike Swoosh Medium Support Women's Padded Sports Bra
Good options for under shorts game day or practice; especially if it’s that time of the month and you’re in your home white jerseys 🥹
Women's Nike Pro Shorts
These are the length of shorts I prefer, but hey, times change so if you’re more into the short shorts for game day - I’ll show some recs for those as well
Basketball Shorts
Okay, I would rock these. Maybe I was too harsh on the length of womens basketball shorts “these days” man I’m sounding old 🤣
Womens Basketball Shorts
Didn’t have these fancy socks when I played, but they’re really good as far as padding and keeping your foot snug in that pair of shoes so you’re not getting blisters and sweating through.
