TESTIMONIALS

"As a long time, American Australian, who is passionate about growing the game of basketball in Australia, I’ve had an opportunity to work with and see how committed Jessica is to helping young athletes develop their skills, confidence, and understanding of the game. Jessica’s approach aims to empower players and equip them with the fundamental tools to succeed. I have no doubt that Cali Hoops will have a meaningful impact on the Representative basketball community."

"I've had the privilege of working closely with Jessica over the years, both as a parent and a coach. She has consistently gone above and beyond to provide valuable insight, offering personalized guidance and strategies that have helped improve my son’s game. As a coach, I also learned a great deal from Jessica through the program she ran at TMB. Her ability to connect with players, instill confidence, and provide clear direction is something that sets her apart. I am incredibly grateful for her ongoing support and for the role she’s played in both my son’s basketball journey and my own growth as a coach. If you’re looking for someone who truly invests in the success of their players, Jessica is the person to work with."

“Jessica, your impact will be felt long after you have officially departed Wolves basketball, and this is where the sweetness sits within bittersweet. Know and trust that for every achievement a player at Tamborine Mountain Basketball accomplishes, you have played a vital role in that success. Personally, your sacrifice assures both of my children will be provided the most holistic playing experience that assures their basketball aspirations can be achieved. Your impact extends to the kids who are yet to step onto a basketball court, or who are still to experience their first hands-in as their parents cheer on from the sidelines. Your legacy to basketball within our community lasts long past your time with us.”

"Having worked closely with Jessica, I can confidently say she is one of the most dedicated coaches I’ve had the privilege to work with here in Australia. She’s a true leader who understands how to connect with athletes on and off the court, fostering growth both as players and individuals. As someone who shares a deep love for the game and similar philosophies, I can’t speak highly enough of her energy and commitment to the sport and her impact on our basketball community."

“Jessica took my daughter, who did not know one end of the court from the other and poured her skill, body mechanics and court knowledge into her. Within a year under Jessica's tutelage, my daughter was chosen for a Seahawks Division 1 team. Jessica's incredible and in depth knowledge of the game and her approach to coaching instills confidence and a high level basketball IQ. Anyone who has the opportunity to work under Jessica's wing will soar to great heights. Thanks Jessica for moulding my girl into what she is today. You are a true mentor.”

“I was fortunate enough to be Jessica's high school coach. She was an outstanding athlete, tremendous worker and relentless competitor. But what separated Jessica from most players was her approach and understanding of the game at the point guard position. She did not only play the game, she thought the game. It made my job as a coach easy as I would just let her do her thing working with her teammates and controlling the game. I have recently observed Jessica in clinic situations here in SB and she still teaches the game the way she played it. Plus she has that never ending enthusiasm that was infectious with her teammates as well as her coaches. I will always continue to be a tremendous fan as she always seems to bring out the best in everyone.”

"Coach Fern has been not only an incredible coach to both of my daughters but also a mentor. Her passion for basketball is unmatched, and her dedication to developing players goes beyond just the game. She has not only helped them grow their skills but also instilled a strong work ethic and team spirit. We are truly grateful for her guidance, and the positive impact she’s had on their basketball journey.”

"Coach Fern made a lasting impact on my sons during her time coaching them at John Paul College. She accepted them as her only private trainees in 2021, and through this process, I saw rapid growth in their confidence and basketball skills. Her thoughtfully planned sessions pushed them to reach their potential. Thanks to her guidance to play Rep, Romeo is entering his third season of Rep basketball for Logan Thunder in 2025 and continues his second season with Logan U14 Div1 Club Champion team.”
