Private Lessons & Coaches in Duarte, CA

Briana Esparza was the head coach of the Girls Varsity Golf team at Providence High School in Burbank, California, having joined the athletics department in July 2024. With a strong background in education and mental health treatment, Briana combines her passion for teaching with her love of golf to inspire young athletes. She has a strong ability to get anyone started in their journey with golf.

"I appreciate Briana’s approach, she really emphasized that small adjustments can lead to noticeable improvements, which was pretty helpful. Though I still have some work to do on my accuracy and consistency, her calm style keeps things manageable, and the focus on making golf enjoyable rather than stressful resonated with me. Still, I’m optimistic about building on what I learned so far and perhaps trying another lesson soon.
