BASKETBALL COACH, TRAINER, & OFFICIAL; FORMER WNBA PLAYER
Angel Robinson is a former University of Georgia basketball player, WNBA, and international professional athlete who was once recognized as one of the most promising high school girls basketball players. Even with early success, Angel’s journey was far from easy. She experienced pressure, setbacks, and moments of self‑doubt that tested her confidence and made her question whether she truly belonged at the next level.
Through those challenges, basketball taught Angel valuable lessons about resilience, discipline, and believing in herself when things didn’t go as planned. Instead of letting obstacles stop her, she learned how to grow from them—using failure as motivation and staying committed to her goals.
Today, Angel gives back to the game as a coach, trainer, basketball official from youth through college level, and co‑owner of R & A Training. She is passionate about helping high school girls build confidence, handle pressure, and understand that their struggles don’t define them. Angel encourages young athletes to trust their journey, use their voice, and keep pushing forward—on the court, in school, and in life.
