MEET COACH Val
HI, I'M VAL
I’m a two-time NCAA champion from Stanford, where I competed in three Final Fours, won four Pac-12 titles, and graduated as the conference’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder. I was a two-time All-American, two-time Pac-12 Player of the Year, and an ESPY Award nominee. Beyond basketball, I’m passionate about empowering girls through sports.
As a Certified Life Skills Instructor and Mental Performance Coach, I’ve completed my coursework for a graduate degree in Sport and Performance Psychology and working toward CMPC certification. I also serve on the National Advisory Board for the Positive Coaching Alliance and have mentored thousands of athletes, helping them succeed both on and off the court.

Push beyond your best. Every single day.

Success isn’t about staying comfortable—it’s about pushing past limits, embracing challenges, and showing up stronger every day. Growth happens when you step beyond what you thought was possible, training your mind as hard as your body. With resilience, discipline, and the right mindset, every setback becomes a setup for a comeback. Stay committed, stay focused, and keep striving for more. Because the real competition isn’t with others—it’s with the best version of yourself.
