YMCA at Schilling Farms

Bio: Hello, my name is Kira Lowery! I am a professional basketball player, looking to share my knowledge of the game and experiences to student-athletes of all ages and genders. My coaching style focuses on skill work with minimal conditioning, which will be beneficial for game-like situations. While working with student-athletes, my goal is to help build their confidence and teach them the importance of maintaining a consistent and efficient work ethic. Fun Facts About Me: At six years old, I played in my very first basketball game. I scored a basket, the crowd cheered loudly.. and I covered my ears and cried because it was so loud! Let's fast forward! I spent my first two years of college at a JUCO (Dyersburg State CC). During my time there, I received All Freshman Team, All Conference both years, and was named Offensive MVP and JUCO All American Third Team during my sophomore season. Afterwards, I played at two Division 1 programs, Auburn University and North Carolina Central University. At NCCU, I was named Team MVP my last two years of undergrad, whilst earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, Cum Laude. Once I graduated from NCCU, I went on to play overseas in Pozega, Croatia. I was blessed enough to be the starting point guard as a rookie, averaging 10.2 ppg, shooting 50% from the field. I look forward to meeting and assisting you all!
