Testimonials

“

“I've known Melissa since she was very young. Her journey is exceptional. As a young player spotted by the French basketball federation system without ever being integrated into it, She nonetheless succeeded on her own, carving out a place for herself in the elite of French basketball. She was then called upon to play overseas and discovered European basketball. Her natural curiosity led her to Mexico. All these successive experiences have enhanced her knowledge of her sport.
Her career as a player has profoundly enabled her to develop a real philosophy and soft skills that do not escape those around her. If her skills no longer need to be proven, what strikes observers the most is the energy and passion Melissa brings to her work. Her positivity is contagious, and she garners total commitment from the players she works with. This outcome is the result of demanding, meticulous analysis and a strong ability to share and communicate.”

“I played with Melissa Diawakana in 2018/2019 basketball season in Toruń, Poland. I can’t speak highly enough of Melissa and her work. During the season Melissa and I worked very closely on my game. She was extremely thorough and very meticulous. She has great knowledge of the game and her workouts were relevant, tough and always pushed me to be better.
Melissa also worked with other team mates of mine, and without being asked she knew what everyone needed and had different plans for each of us. I can’t recommend Melissa enough to work with. She isn’t just a great trainer, basketball player and person. She is also a really great friend of mine and someone who is loyal, hard working, resilient and an excellent student of the game.”

“I had the opportunity and the privilege to work with Melissa for several weeks during one summer. The exercises she had me do in her training sessions were very thorough and specifically tailored to my game and areas I needed to improve. She provided me a lot of tools and invaluable advice about the game, especially concerning my position by having me work on techniques utilized at the highest level.
First and foremost, I would say being trained by Mel, leaves no-one on indifferent. This is attributed to the energy and passion she communicate to her players. Mel is incredibly motivating, a training session with her can not go wrong. You truly have to experience it to fully appreciate it.”
