Making space. ⚡️
At last year’s Empower Fest, we brought EMA Leaders, coaches, board members, & alumni together for a panel — open floor, real questions from the crowd.
Nisha, an EMA Leader, is heading into her freshman season for the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women’s basketball team.
She asked the panel a question every incoming college athlete carries with them: how do I actually fit in on this team?
Zhane Dikes took the question.
Zhane played Guard at the University of San Francisco — the program’s all-time minutes leader — before playing professionally overseas in Germany, China, and Poland. She’s had to walk into a new team, in a new country, more than once.
Her answer:
“That’s the beauty of EMA — you are prepared.”
Go be great!

Save the date! Culture Combine is back for year two.
Last year, this tryout & camp determined who made the EMA Leaders team. This August, we’re doing it again — the same high standard, the same real stakes.
More details soon. Follow along.

Leadership doesn’t always look like a trophy. Sometimes it looks like showing up early, staying late, and noticing when a teammate needs a word of encouragement.
That’s the standard we live here every day — on and off the court.

What stood out most about the Harvard-Westlake visit?
⸻
This weekend wasn’t just about basketball.
Yes, our teams had an incredible weekend on the court, but the greatest victory was exposing nearly 50+ members of the EMA community to what championship culture truly looks like.
Watching Coach Rebibo (@davidrebibo) and Harvard-Westlake wasn’t about learning new plays. It was about witnessing a standard.
The attention to detail.
The relationships.
The accountability.
The consistency.
Coach Rebibo reinforced something we’ve believed from day one: player development and culture always come before results.
Championships are earned through the daily process, not chased.
That philosophy is one of the many reasons Coach Rebibo has become such a dear friend and mentor to our CEO and Founder, @coach_gumbs.
We are incredibly grateful for his willingness to open his program, share his wisdom so generously, and invest in our coaches, players, and parents.
A heartfelt thank you to Coach Dave Rebibo, his staff, the student-athletes, and the entire @hwhoops community for welcoming us with such generosity.
Experiences like this don’t just make us better basketball coaches and players—they make us better leaders.
The standard isn’t something you talk about. It’s something you live every single day.

Leaders, let’s celebrate an incredible season together!
Join us on June 20th for our End of Season Hike & BBQ as we reflect on the memories, friendships, and growth from this year. It’s the perfect chance to connect, have fun, and finish the season strong.
We can’t wait to see you there! 🥾⚡️
