With a remarkable track record, he won three gold medals from three different teams. Coppa was the Associate Head Coach of Trogylos Priolo in the Italian Division 1 for seven seasons when he mentored WNBA All-Star Tari Phillips. The 45-year-old also coached Michelle Greco, Kristine Haynie, and Florina Pascalau, all of whom played in the WNBA. Before coaching in the United States, he was the head coach of Thailand’s Women’s National Team. Under his leadership, the squad won the Gold Medal in the South-Eastern Asian Games in 2011. As a result, they won their first gold medal in 16 years.

Balancing Coaching and Their Personal Life

The coaching pair has created a close-knit family unit with their two children, Matteo and Capri. They are responsible parents who have made personal sacrifices for their children’s advancement. In a 2021 interview, the couple discussed how difficult it was to balance basketball with parenting. They admit, like everyone else, that they are not perfect parents. Coppa, on the other hand, said that they attempt to spend as much time as possible with their children, especially during the hectic basketball season.

Similarly, Adia discussed the sacrifices of having children and how family always comes first.

“We care about kids and make significant sacrifices for them. We do not have a social life. We don’t care about it. We make the most of our free time by spending it together. Sometimes it is difficult, and you don’t want to go to the zoo on your day off.”

Their dedication to parenting is clear, as they prioritize family time for their children despite the rigorous and stressful nature of coaching. This reinforces their strong feeling of parental obligation.
