This week, NW Coaster, champion basketballer and youth worker Mason Bragg. Many know some of Mason’s basketball journey which has taken him all the way to the NBL. We chat about this and his journey from a shy, laid back son of an NWBU legend to when he realized basketball was going to take him places. Behind the scenes Mason speaks about tough times and lessons learnt through his parents separation, moving to the US, self confidence and anxiety issues. We speak about the effects of these challenges which led to anger as a teen and ultimately left him homeless for a time. Mason also speaks about his other passion, youth work and the difference he is making now in Queensland working with kids in the child safety system.
