I’m Anthony Liu, and I’m excited to lead this youth basketball program at First Covenant Church for third to sixth graders. I’ve had the privilege of coaching youth basketball for four years, starting shortly after graduating college with the University Village Basketball League in Albany, CA. In addition to my experience on the court, I’ve completed Positive Coaching Alliance workshops, which are based on Stanford University research, to ensure that I’m offering the best coaching practices. These workshops emphasize creating positive, supportive environments that help young athletes develop a love for the game.
Outside of basketball, I’ve also coached youth soccer for my son, which has helped me bring a well-rounded, inclusive approach to coaching. The values I learned through these experiences, especially the influence of Rick Sletadahl from the University Village program, inspire me every day as I strive to create a positive experience for every player in our program.
