Jamie’s achievements didn’t stop there—she won a 3x3 Red Bull World Championship title, earned a Master’s in Fitness Science from York University, and played professionally in Germany.

With roles ranging from head coach to strength and conditioning specialist, Jamie has a proven ability to develop confident, adaptable athletes who excel on and off the court. Her programs focus on more than just skill-building, emphasizing resilience, leadership, and self-belief in every athlete she works with.
