Angela Fields was born and raised in Saint Louis, Missouri.  She grew up with a love for sports and attended many athletic games. After becoming a mother of two, her love for the games was passed onto her children.  While attending her children’s games, Angela began observing many facets that make any game possible. She was fascinated by the scores of people including coaches, commentators, sports analysts and dozens more who make each game a reality.  

​

This observation of the people behind the scenes prompted her to share this information with the youth. Knowing how important it is for children to aspire to be and do something great, Angela wrote Basketball Beyond the Bench!
