Meet Coach Keyes!
Hi! I’m Coach Keyes! Thank you for visiting my website! I have a ton of experience both as a basketball player and coach. It has become my passion to watch players I coach become great basketball players, and even better human beings. I invite you to take the time to read my bio below and see if my philosophy will help you meet your goals.
Coach Keyes’ Experience
High School
Coach Keyes started 3 years of Varsity Basketball at Maple Heights High School. In her senior year, she transferred to Warrensville High School and started there also. She was a focused athlete and student. She maintained a 3.5 GPA her senior year as she helped lead her team to an LEL Division Title. She was named all First Team ALL L.E.L, 2nd Team District, and ALL State Honorable Mention. Coach Keyes was also selected to play in the Greater Cleveland All-Star Game at Lakewood High School and the Black College All-Star Game at the Gund Arena (now called the Rocket Mortgage Field House and home to the Cleveland Cavaliers).
College And Beyond
Coach Keyes received a scholarship to attend the University of Rio Grande. After 2 years, she transferred to Wilberforce University. She had big expectations for her collegiate basketball career, but things didn’t go quite as planned. She was heartbroken and fell into a deep depression. Then she began coaching and found her purpose. This is what inspired Keyes To The Game.
After coaching basketball on every level from Youth to Semi-Pro, her passion and love for the game have been reignited. Working at a school for a few years, she saw a younger version of herself in every child. Coach Keyes realized how important having the correct mentality was from her own personal mistakes. She was inspired to help mentor as many student-athletes as possible. Today, she works hard to encourage students to always believe in themselves, work hard, and have fun. This is a lesson that can be used on, or off the basketball court!
