Testimonies

During each lesson, Lynnette works with Elizabeth to reinforce the lessons learned the previous week, incorporate new game strategies, discuss game performance and reinforce how Elizabeth can better execute the philosophy of her team coach.  Each lesson is tailored to what will challenge Elizabeth the most while still keeping the fun in playing basketball.  Lynnette has truly been instrumental in Elizabeth achieving the success she has had on the court.  Elizabeth has participated in clinics, open gyms, private, semi-private and group lessons.  All have been conducted in a nurturing and positive environment.  We highly recommend any time spent with Lynnette and the rest of the EBI coaches.

I think Coach Felicia has helped me a lot with my skills, like ball handling and strong defense. The best thing I like about Coach Felicia is her energy on and off the court. It is contagious. Taylor Boe - Age 16

I have known Lynnette since I was a first grader playing recreational ball in Sammamish. As my interests and skills grew in basketball, she has been there for me as a private coach to guide me along the path to becoming a talented player. I soon realized that with her help, I could focus on my ultimate basketball goal which is to play at the college level. Right now, Lynnette and I are focusing on specific adjustments I need to make in order to become a three dimensional player on the court that colleges will want to recruit. I have Lynnette to thank for keeping me on track with my goals and keeping my love for basketball alive. Thanks Lynnette from your Special K!

I have known Coach Johnson since the seventh grade, almost six years now. I have grown to know her as my basketball coach, mentor, family friend and confidant. Even as my basketball coach in middle school, I learned amazing things from her about life, love and friends. Felicia led by example. She showed me to give everyone respect around you because they will respect you back. Felicia also demonstrated how friendships should be cherished and shouldn't slip or go unnoticed. Finally she taught me that attitude is everything and you should inspire the people around you to be better people because it will make you a better person too. As I have grown older and our friendship has deepened, I have found that I admire and cherish the lessons she has taught me. Felicia is one of the strongest persons I know and continues to amaze me with her patience and understanding. She has been through some tough times and overcame obstacles some might believe insurmountable. Felicia cares about each one of her players as part of the team and as an individual human being. She cares about your schoolwork, your dog, your boy dramas and most importantly your life. Felicia is one of the best listeners, I know that I can call her anytime to talk or vent about anything that is on my mind and she will listen. I am totally amazed by her personality and inspired by her positive attitude, she is a good example for all of us to follow. Thanks Flea, I love you and you changed my life.

Our daughter started taking private lessons from Felicia about a year ago.  We walked away from the first session impressed, and have never experienced anything less than that. 
Felicia always provides the parent with specific feedback and drills that the player can do on his/her own time to enhance the instruction time.  I appreciate that she not only emphasizes basketball skills, but life skills as well, with my daughter.   She has always been flexible in scheduling sessions, and in working with the parent to understand the techniques she is teaching.  Felicia has always made herself available and is very responsive when we contact her.  She is clearly knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about the sport of basketball.  She has offered a progressive approach with our daughter, starting with her current strengths and designing drills to emphasize the skills yet needed.  I can tell that she truly cares about my daughter’s progress on the court and in life.  As a parent, I have assurance knowing that Felicia is a figure in my daughter’s life who will come alongside her and mentor her with a strong value system.   She makes training fun yet very challenging. 
As a result of my daughter working with Felicia, she is more confident, consistent, aggressive, and her strengths have diversified into all areas of the game.  We adore Coach Felicia!
