Sam Lewis

Co-Director Sam Lewis is a former division one basketball player at Fairfield University from 2017-2022. During her career she played a key role in bringing the university their first conference championship and March Madness appearance since 1998.

Known for her outside shot, she holds the Fairfield University single game scoring record with 39 points and Fairfield University/MAAC single game three point record with 11 made threes. During the 2020-2021 season she led the MAAC and was ranked 5th in the country in 3PFG% at 46.1%. In her final season she earned MAAC Sixth Player of the Year honors and her team went on to win the MAAC Championship where she netted clutch free throws at the end to seal the game.

After her collegiate career, Lewis moved back home to coach her alma mater, Howard High School. She helped lead the Lions to their first ever Maryland 3A State Championship. She then moved to the DC area where she started her player development program - Beyond The Arc. She runs day camps, clinics, and trains girls all ages from 4th-12th grade.

“Beyond The Arc was created to be more than just a basketball training business – we're a catalyst for personal growth and athletic excellence. We understand that true success on the court goes beyond physical skills; it's about building confidence, fostering resilience, and growing leadership qualities. Our tailored training programs are designed not only to enhance basketball fundamentals, skills, and IQ but also to empower athletes to thrive both on and off the court.”

Lewis is also in her second season at Georgetown Visitation as the assistant varsity basketball coach.
