Today on Building Better Basketball, we’re joined by Bonnie Deas, one of the most exciting young Australian players currently coming through the system. Bonnie is currently playing her college basketball at the University of Arkansas, after coming through the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence, where she developed a reputation as a tough, competitive guard who plays the game with real edge and intent. Her journey from the CoE to the NCAA gives her a unique perspective on development, daily training environments, and what it actually takes to make the jump from Australian pathways into the U.S. college system. She’s lived the process - the good bits, the hard bits, and the stuff coaches don’t always see. Today we’ll talk about her experiences, what helped her development most, and the lessons she’d pass on to young players and coaches trying to build better basketball environments.
