Kristian Hudson

Kristian Hudson is currently a course director for PGC. She first attended as an athlete during the summer months of 2012 and 2014. She returned in the summer of 2016 after her freshman year of college with hopes of learning more about the game at the college level. She came aboard working as a Basket Instructor in the summer of 2017 and has been involved with PGC since then.

Kristian Hudson brings experience from the mid major Division 1 level and the Big 10. Having played at Florida International University and Nebraska respectively, she has learned countless valuable lessons through the sport of basketball that she looks forward to sharing with the next generation. During her playing career, she was a McDonald’s All-American nominee, scored 35 points in a triple-overtime win that landed her on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10, and was selected to the USA Team top 25 before being cut. As a student of the game and of life, Kristian uses PGC to teach to the hearts and minds of every individual.

Throughout her playing career, Hudson experienced playing major minutes as a freshman, adjusting positions, transferring, being injured and not playing at all and more. As her mentor imparted the wisdom to her to “share what she knows to help others grow,” she looks to use her voice and story to pour into athletes, showing them how they can grasp the transformational lessons basketball has to offer that will serve them now on the court and in the years to come off the court. Her objective is to guide others in the understanding that basketball is not who they are but what they do. She hopes to shed light on how to use basketball as a tool to learn, grow, travel the world and be the best version of themselves. Kristian has coached on the NAIA level and D1 in college and currently coaches at Thompson High School in Alabaster, AL.
