Awesome weekend for Riverina leg of the TAP trials. Huge growth in participation & skill for the region. Credit to the the hard working coaches for driving standards ! Shout out @MenzAdam for the 600km round trip to coach at both trials! Kids are lucky you have you mate

For defence to be successful, players must believe the coaches' beliefs. We should spend time convincing players of the system, explaining the opportunities. The key of any defence system is to have ‘clear rules, no excuses’ so players can commit to their decisions. - Trunić

Presenting with a dear friend in front of the best basketball minds in Australia was a surreal and amazing experience. Well done to @lono610 for delivering another amazing (and the biggest to date) BA Coaches Conference.

Got to lead a great session at the Central Coast Academy of Sport this week. These young players are learning how to train with intent and compete with humility. Thanks to the Academy staff, families, and coaching group for creating a space where these athletes can thrive.

Grateful for the opportunity to run a tutorial for the SEDA Sports & Business Program this week. The work being done to grow future coaches, managers, and leaders is inspiring. It’s a privilege to share practical insights from the industry.

Great to get out to Junior Premier League (JPL) this weekend and see the performance athletes in their natural environment. Amazing to see the offensive richness across the association and the level of basketball being played across the state
