INTRODUCING, COACH Jakob

Growing up in Newcastle, my basketball passion started with Newcastle and Newcastle will always be home. Recently I have moved to Adelaide, South Australia to further develop my passion and chase further growth and opportunity. While in Newcastle I Head Coached multiple Newcastle Falcons Representative teams, worked within BNSW High Performance Program and was a player of the NBL1 Men. Since moving to Adelaide, I have been working with the Adelaide 36ers as a Development Coach and lucky enough to work alongside professional athletes every day. Learning how to be a professional and the commitment it takes. Alongside the Adelaide 36ers, I have been a Assistant Coach for South Australia Metro U16s State Team winning a Bronze Medal in 2024 and hoping to do better in 2025. This year I am also working as the Assistant Coach of the Sturt Sabres NBL1 Men for 2025. Alongside this, I am the current Basketball Coordinator of Westminster College and the U14 Boys Sturt Sabres Head Coach. I would love to give back to the local community as I was lucky enough to receive such great mentoring as a young person in Newcastle.
