As a player, Gabi was blessed with coaches of the Brazil National Team Youth Program all her club career. She played for one of the best clubs in the nations, where she worked under a lot of pressure and always had urgency for results and championships. On her transition to College in America, she was also blessed to be coached by the Head Coach of Puerto Rico National Team and pushed to lead UE to playoffs after 10 years of absence. As a coach, Gabi shares all her experience as a player and as a coach with her athletes, and pushes them to leave everything they have on the court. Leaving Brazil without her family to play college in America means that trusting your purpose and putting your heart out there will lead you to great things in life, and will make you a stronger individual. Commitment and hard work walk together, and she pushes her athletes to do their best to achieve their goals and develop a successful career as a player/individual.
