Nitra Perry is a nationally respected coach, mentor, and strategist with over 20 years of experience developing NCAA Division I athletes. Known for her authenticity, leadership, and unwavering commitment to growth, she has served as both assistant and associate head coach for elite collegiate programs. 

She is the founder of PYE Training & Consulting (Protect Your Energy), a platform that helps girls navigate sports, identity, and decision-making with clarity and confidence. Through PYE, Nitra partners with schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to prepare athletes for success on the court and beyond. 

In 2025, Nitra contributed to two groundbreaking initiatives:

•  Unrivaled League: Supported top professional players, including Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd, during the league’s inaugural season. This was the first professional 3-on-3 basketball league created specifically for women. 
• Lilly Women’s College All-Star Combine: Served as a trainer at the first large-scale combine for WNBA prospects, held during the NCAA Women’s Final Four in Tampa, Florida. The event featured 30 draft-declared athletes showcasing their skills to league scouts. 

 At the core of her work is a mission to guide, protect, and empower young girls as they pursue their dreams through basketball. PYE builds whole individuals who are ready to lead, grow, and make intentional choices for their futures. 

 PYE is a compass. It equips athletes and the adults around them — parents, mentors, coaches — with the tools to help girls grow, thrive, and believe in what is possible for their lives.
