TOP 4 3x3 U17 IN AUSTRALIA! The inaugural 3x3 Nat TOP 4 3x3 U17 IN AUSTRALIA! The inaugural 3x3 National Champs were a great experience. Finishing just two points from the podium is a bittersweet ending to an (unexpectedly) very strong campaign. Complete buy-in, tough defense by an unreal group of girls willing to play for each other all through definitely made up for it. We learnt so much from it and will be back next year even better prepared. Impressive work by basketballaus, @aureliendamien and his crew and @basketballvictoria setting this event up. The vibe was great! WORK!

CHINA TRIP #15 - The biggest one so far! 80+ supe CHINA TRIP #15 - The biggest one so far! 80+ super engaged coaches travelled from all around China to Zibo in Shandong Province for 3 days of workshops related to the development of junior players. The main themes were: ☑️ how to develop a positive club culture ☑️ how to design engaging and relevant training sessions ☑️ how to develop mobility through functional movement and targeted conditioning ☑️ how to develop fundamental skills ☑️ how to get players to talk the language of basketball ☑️ how to implement and layer offensive and defensive strategies. Many thanks to the legendary Coach Ma and his DF crew for organising such a great clinic. It is always humbling and inspiring to meet coaches who traveled 20+hours to attend my workshops. I am extremely grateful to be in a position to share my experience in player and team development and build meaningful connections with young athletes and coaches through the medium of basketball. Oh, and Northern Chinese food is the truth. WORK!
