My Story....

​

My name is Tanya Harris, I'm a Child of God, Wife, Mother of three athletic kids and a sports fan.  Growing up, I always had a passion for Christ and Sports!  I started playing sports at the early age of 5.  I played all sports, however; basketball became my favorite. As I excelled on the basketball court, I gained the interest from almost every College program in the country to play basketball.  When It was time for me to choose a school, I chose The Ohio State University over Duke and North Carolina. Staying close to my family and church family was important to me.  At Ohio State, I was involved in Fellowship with Christian Athletes (FCA), a sports ministry that bridges the gap between Christ and Sports.  My faith grew stronger during those years and I knew I wanted to use my platform to advance the Kingdom of God.  I became not only a 3-time captain but also served as a spiritual leader to my teammates and classmates. 

​

After graduation, I  earned my master’s degree from Liberty University (Organizational Leadership) and co-founded Girls Leadership Sports Academy, a sports ministry whose mission is to educate, enrich and empower girls to pursue excellence in the classroom, their communities and on the playing field.

​

It is my prayer, that our weekly devotionals, books and apparel encourages you to develop an intimate relationship with Christ!

God Bless,

FD FAMILY TESTIMONIES

Coach Tanya, Allyson and I thank you for making an imprint on both Mae and Anna. I’ve tried to be appreciative through our time together and so you know I will probably always be thanking you so get used to it. You’re amazing at who you are and what you do and basketball is just a piece of it. The direction and ripple effect that your creating in them is going to push them to places that they didn’t even know existed. The sterling’s love you and the whole Harris family!

Coach Tonya is one of the best coach and mentor for my daughter. I have witnessed my daughters confidence in basketball get stronger as time go by. Coach also keeps the girls positive and ready to help their players achieve success both on and off the court. If you are looking for a girls basketball club with great sportsmanship, team work, skills, and ability, then you have found the right place! We love faith driven!

Words can’t express my gratitude for the profound impact Coach Tanya had had in the lives of our daughters and our entire family. When we joined Faith Driven Basketball I had no idea what a blessing it would turn out to be. Every time I reflect on our experience, I realize there is always something new and incredible happening that I could have never imagined. Coach Tanya has significantly booted our girls confidence, as well as their physical and mental strength both on and off the court. What began with our younger daughter soon became a journey for our older daughter as well. Coach Tanya and the spirit of Father Driven is magnetizing. She is more than just a coach to them - she is a mentor and role model who I truly believe will be one of the most influential people in their lives. -Allyson
