Coach Tool on Amy

“Bohnker will be expected to provide consistency on the court both offensively and defensively. She has made huge strides with her game each year so I am looking for another big jump this fall. Bohnker has been very focused on strong footwork training and being sharp on the little things – I think she will see a huge payoff this fall.”
