ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Today’s episode steps slightly outside the lines of basketball - but very much into the heart of coaching.
I’m joined by Don Singe, who works with the North Queensland Cowboys as their Head of Leadership and Culture.
Don’s work sits at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and science-based wellbeing. He partners with corporate leaders, elite athletes, and coaches to build what he calls leadership capacity - helping people take ownership of themselves, their environment, and their process, while maintaining the mental and physical health needed to sustain performance over time.
What stood out to me in Don’s approach is that it’s not about quick fixes or surface-level motivation. It’s grounded in practical, actionable processes - and built around clarity, honesty, and the ability to adapt and progress along your own pathway.
For those of us coaching in community basketball, that’s highly relevant. Because whether you’re coaching juniors on a weeknight or working in high performance, the challenge is the same, how do you lead people effectively, and how do you create an environment where they can thrive?
This is a really thoughtful conversation that will challenge the way you think about leadership, wellbeing, and what it actually means to perform at your best.
