Alexandra Garcia

Alexandra Garcia was once a dominant force on the WNBA court, but a serious illness cut her playing career short before she was ready to step away. Rather than leave the sport behind entirely, she channeled her expertise into coaching, guiding a young Taiga Kagami and Tatsuya Himuro through their earliest steps in basketball on American soil. Driven by pride in her students, she travels to Japan to witness their performance in the Winter Cup firsthand. Known for her uninhibited personality and affectionate European-style greeting kisses, Alex brings an infectious energy wherever she goes. Her razor-sharp basketball intuition and wealth of professional experience make her the single most influential figure in shaping the two protagonists into the elite players they become.
