SHARING INSIGHTS

We were delighted to welcome back Collegian Gabe Hadley (’16) for an inspiring Basketball Q&A and shoot around session with our students this week.

Gabe has recently been signed to a one-year deal with the Brisbane Bullets. Gabe played college basketball in the US at New Mexico State University and the University of California San Diego.

Sharing insights from his basketball journey, Gabe spoke about the importance of “surrounding yourself with good people, like-minded people, that want the best for you.”

He also emphasised that success often comes down to the effort made when nobody is watching, saying, “how hard you are willing to push yourself and train when no one else is watching is what will set you apart from others striving for the same goal”.

The session was led by staff member and basketball coach Mr Nick Bean, who had the privilege of coaching Gabe during his time at the College.

It was a wonderful opportunity for students to hear firsthand about resilience, dedication and striving to reach your full potential.
