In 10 years of being a professional basketball player, Wyckoff had extensive and detailed skills in defensive game planning, recruiting, and even coaching post players. In May 2018, she became Florida State University’s assistant head coach.
Personal Life
Wyckoff came from a Christian home, and she is very open about it. When she was playing at Florida State University under Coach Sue Semrau, she was surrounded by strong Christians. She started to struggle when she had to play overseas because she’s living on her own, and she was always meeting new people. She was thankful for her faith that when life throws things at her, God always pulls her back.
