LiL Ballers by Lost in Living

Welcome to the LIL Ballers Basketball Camps by Lost in Living, where we believe in creating more than just skilled athletes—we cultivate champions in life. Our camp is designed to go beyond basketball, integrating life coaching principles that empower young individuals to excel both on and off the court. With extensive experience in basketball and life coaching, our program is uniquely positioned to offer a holistic development experience.

 

More Than Just a Game

At LIL Ballers Basketball Camp, we understand that the game of basketball is a powerful tool for teaching life lessons. Our mission is to use basketball as a platform to foster personal growth, resilience, teamwork, and leadership. By blending rigorous basketball training with impactful life coaching, we prepare our participants to face challenges with confidence and achieve their full potential in all areas of life.

 

About Your Coach

I bring a wealth of experience from my involvement in Premier League equivalent basketball back home in Australia, and I’m excited to share my passion and knowledge here in the UK. As a certified Level 2 Basketball Coach and a qualified Life Coach with a Diploma in Personal and Professional Mindset and Performance Coaching, I’ve been coaching since I was 16, guiding junior boys’ and girls’ teams, and volunteering with all-abilities programs, including basketball for individuals with extra needs.

​

My extensive background includes 20 years as a Level A referee in Australia and current certification as a Level 2 referee in the UK. I’m DBS-checked, Safeguarding Children in Sport certified, and bring a deep understanding of safety and integrity from my previous career as a police officer.

​

Whether I’m coaching young athletes, mentoring coaches, or officiating on the court, I’m committed to helping others achieve their best and foster a positive environment for all involved in the sport. Let’s work together to elevate the game and inspire the next generation of players!
