TOM TROKEY
YOUTH DIRECTOR
8th Grade Elite Black
Coach Tom started playing basketball in 3rd grade and continued throughout his college years. Coach Tom grew up in Missouri , lived in Minnesota for 20 years and recently moved to California 3 years ago. For the last 20 years he has coached teams from youth developmental to Varsity High School levels. Coach Tom brings a coaching style of high energy, positive motivation and a builder of self-confidence. He believes and teaches if you want to be a better player you have to be fundamentally sound, that everything in the game comes from fundamentals, they are the roots of the game. That basketball is a learning experience just like life, to be enjoyed and that a key to each success is preparation both physically and mentally. With a shout praise, whisper criticism approach he inspires self-esteem, confidence and belief. Coach Tom’s favorite game statement is “ITS TIME TO ROCK N ROLL! He believes JOHN WOODEN said it best “What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player”. |

Coach Medina coaching philosophy will never be will at all costs; she wants her players to function as a positive contributor to our society, family, classroom as well as our basketball program. She ask her players to be respectful, both on and off the court, as well as doing a proficient job in the classroom. As a player they will be aggressive, hard nosed, team players. She expects her players to give their best effort at all times and fulfilling their roles as determined by the coaching staff. |

DELFIN D. QUINTANA
SANTA FE COACH
8TH Grade Elite
I have 19 years as a Law Enforcement Officer, and through my time in Law Enforcement I wanted to be a positive role model for our youth. I wanted to interact with the youth so they would see me in a different light than a Police Officer. Six years ago I decided to get into coaching basketball it has been one of the most fulfilling decisions that I ever made. I know I have made a difference in some kid’s lives already. It is awesome to teach kids that want to learn the sport of Basketball, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. As I explain to my kids life is a lot like sports, full of up’s and downs. Learning to pick yourself up and keep working toward your goals is where it’s at.
