By ONE2ONE TeamWe catch up with one of the newest members of our team... ![]() Why did you get into coaching? I got into coaching through Coach Sadler. It wasn't something I originally thought I would get into, but I'm enjoying the new challenge and seeing the game from a different perspective is interesting to me, as is seeing the improvement of the players I get the chance to work with. Talk us through your basketball career to-date… I started playing basketball at 13 years-old when my PE Teacher suggested I go for a trial at Ipswich where I was selected for the team, and I played for them right through the junior teams, academy and Senior Men. What moment from your career to-date are you proudest of? The proudest moment is probably my last season with the U18 men, under Coach MacDonald. We went from a really tough Eastern Conference Division all the way to the last eight in the country, beating an unbeaten team on their home floor and a Premier division side along the way. What film, podcast or book would you recommend to players or coaches? I would recommend "Mind Gym" by Gary Mack. It's a very interesting read and touches a lot on the psychology of sport and the power of positive thinking - which is overlooked by a lot of people. What do you do when you’re not around basketball? When I'm not around basketball, I enjoy working out and lifting weights. Comments are closed.
