Hailing from the United States, Troyce Mannasa made his way to Australia to assist and support children with their basketball skills and personal development. Alongside that played for Southern Peninsula Sharks as a key player for the past season. Troyce, now having returned to the U.S. has experienced some of the hardship as well as triumphs the country have been facing, but in these times has always kept true to what he believes in and the spirituality that flows through out him. Troyce makes an effort to stand out from the stereotyped basketball player he may be framed to be and attempts to seek more knowledge about financial investments then holding himself to just the game. It allows him to explore many avenues of his own self, which he preaches to others to also consider finding many different pathways of life. Troyce is hanging on for those boarders to open so he can make a quick return to Melbourne, which he likes to call ‘home’.
