MaKayah Harris

Talented Assistant Coach successful at turning around underperforming programs. Hardworking and passionate about teaching kids life skills as well as mistakes are going to be made and, game play and regulations. I worked on building confidence in younger kids around me because I was once in Their position. 6Th grade was my first time playing basketball and I was not good at all and I felt out of place. Thank god I had this wonderful coach who also was my trainer and my mentor in 1. Coach Samuel helped me develop into the player I am today and when he noticed I wanted to give up he kept pushing me. He never gave up on me. I later on won the state championship in 2021. Spirited assistant coach committed to inspiring personal drive and self-confidence through motivational training and skills development. Employs example-based instruction style to build trust as hands-on leader and guarantee safety of activities. Believes in open, constructive communication between staff and team to set clear goals and build vision of excellence. Coach Samuel put my face on a shirt to give to the little kids I was training to show my growth and show kids you can do it to no matter when you start. My goal with the camp was to have the kids walking out with their heads high and as confident as ever. I always told the kids its okay to mess up like my coach told me; if a coach isn't saying something to you then you are doing something wrong. I am very hardworking and passionate about any and everything I do.

I won the state championship at Marietta High School in 2021.
