Ben Greany enters his first year in 2020 as Head Coach of the CQ University Rockhampton Cyclones NBL1 North womens team, after serving as Assistant Coach for the past 2 seasons under Head Coach Chris Muggeridge. Ben has been heavily involved with Rockhampton's junior girl's representative teams over the past 5 years, and is also a lead coach at their Under 15 and Under 23 Academies, which were recently created.
In this interview, Ben talks about taking over the coaching role following a successful period for the Cyclones, having won the QBL state championship titles in 2015 & 2016. Ben is working with strength and conditioning staff from the Central Qld University and is using that data to track player performance in the pre-season with a view to using it to maximise player contributions during the season. Ben talks about some of the Cyclones recruiting to date, and the culture he will be creating with the team and the experienced players in the group and the way the team can show leadership during the season.
