    Absolutely Gold for anyone who coaches in the VJBL or rep space in Aust.

    Getting access to the states elite coaches and to hear the reason why they select and approach things the way they do .

    Thanks to all that sit at the mic and open up so we can get better for the kids.

  • As Mr Burns would say… “Excellent”

    Talking Split is a great basketball podcast that talks about everything from skill acquisition, mentally supporting athletes and creating inclusive environments to Simpsons quotes and BBQ-ing.

    Would recommend it to any coach or parent in the basketball space!
