My passion is in helping people reach their full potential, be happy and successful. I've learnt a lot over the years, working with people from all levels of the game. It's time for me to share those learnings with you.

Connection. VBET is about meeting & making new friends, sharing experiences, and working together.
That’s one thing I’ve definitely got from basketball, friends all over the World.
When we travel to Vietnam we meet players, coaches, parents, fans, and owners from so many countries and walks of life.
We’ve even had a participant get a job whilst on VBET and take their next flight to start that job!
VBET ‘26 is in the works
Quan Nem - one of the best restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. You know what I love about this place? Inside they have a poster that says "Why are we the most expensive Nem restaurant in the City?"
Then they explain why. If you want the best, you gotta pay for the best. There's a little lesson in there for all aspiring entrepreneur's (like me). Charge high prices, give high quality service. If you don't like it, you can go to some other cheaper, poorer quality provider, no problem.
VBET '26 is in the works...

Whatever your situation, whatever stage you are at in your basketball life, you will get an opportunity to be successful. Are you asking yourself this question? Are you preparing for the moment, or just waiting?

Calmness, clarity, concentration, confidence, creativity - 5 skills that will get you there.

I've found that our U18 athletes have a struggle with taking responsibility for the direction of our team. It's almost like they are waiting for someone else to sort it out.
What are the problems your team faces? What are the challenges? Are you being active in trying to find solutions?
#mindset #basketball #basketballcoaching #coaching
Do you try to get rid of nerves when you feel them? Do you try to avoid being nervous?
Remember that nerves are a sign that you're doing something exciting. Welcome those feelings when they come, they are showing you what it is that you're interested in doing.
Don't fight them, embrace them.
#mindset #basketball #basketballCoaching #coaching #winning
As a player, are you waiting for the coach (or someone else) to solve the problems for you?
I recently read a powerful book called "The Energy Bus" which talks about taking responsibility for your future.
In the game, taking responsibility looks like:
- Connecting and communicating with team-mates about the problems that are coming up, and suggesting ways of solving those problems.
- Getting other people open
- Communicating on defense so that your team defense feels strong
Start driving the bus. Take responsibility for your own success.
#mindset #basketball #basketballcoaching #coaching
This is what we work on every day.
#mindset #athletedevelopment #basketball
10 minutes. Each minute = 45 seconds light, 15 seconds all out x 10. You’re welcome
I've been thinking about what it means to win for a long time. What do you think about this answer?
#mindset #winning
My job as a coach is to become useless. It's the players that we have to try and help be able to solve the problems on the court by themselves.
That doesn't mean that I am going anywhere anytime soon! But I'm always working hard to ensure that I encourage the voices of the athletes, and not just talking at them.

The amount of work needed is often underestimated by young athletes - here Coach Rikki breaks down what happens on a daily basis at Barking Abbey.
#athletedevelopment #basketball #coaching
What skills will you need in the pressure moments? Rehearsing them mentally before the fact can help you access them in the moments when you need them.
#mindset #mindfulness #basketball #coaching
Coach Rikki is doing it. Watch our full conversation on youtube and check out his content. What an honour it was to talk hoops with one of the best and brightest coaches in the our game today.

An excerpt from a group meditation at our Academy.
Nothing worth having ever came easy. Don't wish for it to be easier, plan for you to be ready when the storm hits.
#mindset #mindfulness #basketball #athletedevelopment
Do you rehearse the endings in your life?
Preparing for the biggest moments means experiencing them before they happen. This is where meditation can be a big help for aspiring athletes. It's possible to visit those moments in your mind, before they actually happen.
Then you won't be surprised by the intensity and difficulty when it actually arrives in front of your eyes.
#mindset #basketball #mindfulness #meditation
Do you have a mechanism or a tactic you can rely on in stressful situations?
Here are two you can try:
When you find yourself reacting, or in a difficult moment, before you react:
Find a team-mate and ask them "What do you see?"
Or this one:
- Label something you can see
- Label something you can hear
- Label something you can touch (and touch it)
These techniques can help to bring you back to the moment, and out of your head.
#mindset #basketball #coaching
Taking just a few moments each day, or before each basketball activity, to connect with the body, is something I recommend all athletes do.
Here's how to do it:
- Find a quiet spot, sit or lie down
- Place your hands on your abdomen
- Feel the expansion of your belly as you breathe in
- Squeeze the air out a little on the exhale
- Practice that for a few breaths
- Remind yourself that you are safe
- After a few moments, connect to your body, ask it how it feels
You might be surprised by the answer, but the answer will always be there.

Play the game, not the occasion.
How you do anything is how you do anything.
#mindset #coaching #basketball #basketballcoaching
Winning is a feeling, not an outcome.
You cannot chase it, because it is already in you.
It's not something you achieve, it's something you remember.
When you know information like this, you can never be defeated.
#mindset #coaching #cold
Seeing the bigger picture is a difficult skill for an athlete, but a necessary one. Many times you'll be asked to do things you may not want to do, or you may not see the value in.
I think it comes down to trust.
Do you trust your coaches?
Do you trust yourself?
If you trust that you're in the right environment, and your goal is to succeed, then you know that doing things you're not necessarily used to doing will help you grow.
It's all about intent.

A clean jumper is built on rhythm, balance, and repeatable mechanics.
Master the foundation.
There’s no shortcut.
Only deliberate reps and patient correction.

Throwback to the archives! 2021 VBA Bubble League in Nha Trang City. Teams were locked away in a hotel all together for 3 months during COVID, with the season ultimately being cancelled due to cases of the virus surfacing near the facility. A wild time, but one I have fond memories of.
I was a different coach then. It’s only 4 years ago but watching myself I cringe a little at some of the language I use and the way I can see myself acting. But we all go through different stages in our lives and our careers that make us who we are.
There are no mistakes. I needed to be that person doing that so that I could be this person now doing this.

Players often their opportune moment
because they’re waiting for perfection.
But the moment rarely looks perfect.
It looks ordinary,
inconvenient,
or poorly timed.
The warrior is always ready,
and understands that how you do anything is how you do everything
#clarity #performance #resilience #awareness #growth #mindset
Do you ever get overwhelmed with emotion? Do you ever feel like you lose control and don't know how to get it back?
Use this next time it happens:
- Name something you can see
- Name something you can hear
- Name something you can touch (and touch it)
This is a way of bringing you back into the present moment, leaving behind the story of the past and fear of the imagined future.
#mindset #athletedevelopment #basketballcoaching #coaching
Who you are matters more than anything else in the pursuit of your goals. You can be dedicated to the craft, outwork everyone, and have amazing on-court skills, but if people can't work with you then your future will be impacted by that. Be a force for good in the World and you will be rewarded.
#growthmindset #motivation #athletejourney #mindset #performance #resilience
Your value becomes clearer when you slow down and ask the harder questions:
What do I bring?
Where do I add?
What is uniquely mine to offer?
#selfreflection #performance #growth #clarity #mindset #personaldevelopment
Sometimes the most impactful thing a coach can do
is say less.
When athletes are given space to think, fail, adjust,
and solve problems themselves,
their understanding deepens.
Their confidence grows.
The game becomes theirs.
That’s the real goal.

Everyone wants a better jumper.
Not everyone wants the thousands of quiet reps it takes to build one.

@dejkoaf put his money where his mouth was and showed the guys at @northfleet_basketball that he still has it. Much respect 🫡
A message I recorded for a friend yesterday, just in case 😬 #seaswim #coldseaswimming #realhealth
In competition, especially basketball, there will always be a winner and a loser. We have to be prepared to put forth our best effort, give our all to win the game, and accept that losing is a possibility. This frees you to play at your best, without fear of failure
#mindset #growth #performance #resilience #clarity #athletedevelopment
The outcome is just the surface.
Everything meaningful happens underneath —
the reps, the consistency, the decisions no one celebrates.

Coaches, do you feel as if there’s no-one supporting you to get the skills you need to break into the job you deserve?
If you’re in this boat, you’ll be all too familiar with the struggle of working long hours for low pay, and feeling like you’re not getting the respect you deserve, or the opportunities that you know are out there.
You’ll also know that applying for better jobs, or going through online certification courses just doesn’t work.
Why? Because organisations only hire experienced coaches, or people they know already.
It wasn’t until I landed an associate job in Iceland that I finally got the mentorship I needed.
And moving to Iceland isn’t available to everyone.
That’s why I’m putting together a new programme to help basketball coaches master the art and science of professional coaching through my unique blend of online material and live mentoring.
So I’m looking for 6 people to act as beta-testers to go through the programme and give me feedback.
You’ll get a massive discount on what the programme will eventually cost.
If you or someone you know would be interested…
Message me and I’ll send over any details.
Today’s practice board
I learned something from the great @wayoftherope that he called “3D Teaching”. The premise is to have an anchor for the session where we come together at the beginning, in the middle, and the end of the session. For that he used the whiteboard as the meeting place.
So here is today’s, mostly for one of our junior sessions. We teach something, then go do it, come back & review, then continue. It helps players to focus when we’re talking, then they can go back to the court & practice.
#basketballcoaching #basketball #coaching @northfleet_basketball
No full court? No problem. 🫡
This is our AFL Warm-up—a fun, competitive game that keeps every athlete engaged and develops key skills like coordination, teamwork, and strategy even in a tiny space.
🏈 The Rules (2v2 + Passer):
1. Offense: Tries to score a “touchdown” by catching a pass in the end zone.
2. Defense: Tries to stop the score by either intercepting the pass (which is an instant score/possession change) OR by stealing the tail (flag) on the catch to prevent the touchdown.
3. Passer (QB): Stays in a designated area and delivers the ball.
4. Gameplay: Play switches possessions after a score, interception, or flag pull. Play to a target score!
It’s a fantastic, high-energy way to warm up! Save this Reel for your next session! 📌

My Mission: To provide meaningful opportunities to children less fortunate - to bring a smile, food, clothing, knowledge, and inspiration to communities in Vietnam.
I’m planning more trips to Vietnam. Always we’ll work in basketball and try to help the level of coaching & playing to improve. I have so much to give here and look forward to the future.
But this year’s trip opened my eyes to a bigger mission. There are too many people in desperate situations that need help. I have been very fortunate in my life and have the opportunity to give, so I will.
I look forward to returning to Vietnam in 2026!!
Why do you play the game?
99.99% of young players say they love the game. Then I watch them practice, play, and compete and all I see is anger, disappointment, sadness, and frustration.
When I ask why this is, they will say: “I need to get better”, or “I’m not where I want to be”, or “I’m never satisfied with my performance”.
I think behind these statements is a mis-understanding and a mis-alignment.
The misunderstanding is that improvement comes from constantly fixing mistakes.
The misalignment is the hyper-focus on the product of the work instead of the work itself.
I believe the change we need to make is to rediscover our love and enjoyment of the game. Yes, there will be difficult times, and yes, sometimes you’ll have to push past your perceived limits. But if you’re to spend your life doing one thing, make sure you enjoy it.. all of it. #basketball #bongro #vbet #việtnam
This one is for the great @r0ry_burke
VBET is about embracing new things, new experiences, new places, food, languages, and people.
It is sometimes difficult. It is always hot. Our schedule is jam-packed because we want to maximise our time in this faraway land. Early mornings & hard work are a standard feature. If you’re going to join us for a trip like this you have to be prepared to be uncomfortable.
Rory was the embodiment of everything VBET is and could be. He was committed, open to exploring, honest, responsible, funny, and curious. It was an absolute pleasure to have him join us this year and he was undoubtedly this year’s VBET MVP! We may even see Rory back in Vietnam very soon! If you’re up for a challenge like no other, consider joining VBET 2026 for a new adventure! #basketball #vbet #bongro #việtnam
What is a man supposed to do when confronted with the unfairness of the World?
When it’s shown to you so blatantly that you can no longer look at your own life as you did before?
None of the complaints about my own situation could measure up to the difficulties faced by thousands, possibly millions of people, living in destitute poverty, cut off from civilisation. How could I possibly complain about traffic again or a lack of wifi, or losing a basketball game?
This is the real struggle.
For the last 2 years I’ve been coming to Vietnam and coaching youngsters free of charge all over the Country. Some of these young people are already in fairly privileged positions and the sessions were about improving basketball skills. I do consider myself to be a professional coach and I enjoy working with athletes and teams that are working to improve and reach new heights of performance on the court. Some of the sessions were more classically charitable, working with young children who would not ordinarily get the chance to learn from a foreign coach, or train in a structured way. It was here, in Khanh Vinh Province, that my purpose became clear to me.
This is what I need to do.
This is what I’d like VBET to be about at it’s core. True giving.
Providing what is needed to those in need, and opening opportunities to young people that would not be there if we didn’t do it. #vbet #basketball #việtnam #charity

Building the Culture!
The one and only MVP! Matt Van Pelt has had a hugely positive impact on basketball in Vietnam over the last 5 years:
• Developing players
• Coaching the National Team
• Winning multiple domestic championships
It was such a privilege to have lunch with Matt and talk hoops. We talked a lot about culture and how he goes about building a positive environment that leads to success on the court. Matt shared a recent story about holding his top players accountable for the important stuff - if you can do that, then everybody knows the standard and that there are no exceptions!!
This one was particularly good for our younger VBET participants, hearing from a successful coach about the importance of being on time and bringing a positive energy to the team.
Thank you Matt!
“The Poseidon Project” will be my first fundraising project in Vietnam, aiming to complete in 2026. The aim of the project will be to renovate the basketball court in Ninh Thuan, providing a playable surface, a roof to protect from sun & rain, and 4 new baskets for the children who play there. During our next visit I plan to provide english learning classes for the children, and coach education clinics for the coaches. We need about £60,000 to complete the project. I have no idea how we’ll raise this, but achieving anything starts with a vision - you don’t need to know how to do it right from the beginning. If you can help right now, please get in touch. Otherwise keep following, the path will reveal itself as we go #basketball #vbet #basketballcoaching #vietnam #bongro #travel #basketballtraining #charity
Vietnam is not for everyone.
But if you’re up for experiencing how people live life in a completely different way, you might learn something that helps you in your own life.
One of the things Vietnam has taught me is that there are many ways to communicate and solve problems. It has helped me to be more compassionate when working with others and it has helped me find different ways of dealing with challenges in my own life.
VBET is not just about basketball. It’s about experiencing the World and learning new things.

Impacting Lives Through Basketball
I would like to thank @juliasicarovna @andreasbjack_5 @teresa.huong.tn @r0ry_burke
for helping me run a free basketball clinic for vulnerable children staying at the Sunshine Judo Centre, together with @cncfvn
This was our final clinic of VBET 2025 and the culmination of 2 years of work on this project. It is the end of VBET for this year, but also the beginning of my endeavour to impact more lives through basketball.
Through our travels in Vietnam we have seen that there are many people who don’t have the same advantages & opportunities we have. We have also seen the power of basketball to bring people together and offer a sense of hope. Movement & sports offer us the chance to connect with those in need. The first step is bringing smiles to children’s faces. Then we must consider what else we can do to help more children have a fair shot at life.
VBET 2026 will pick up where VBET 2025 Left off. Are you in? #basketball #vbet #basketballcoaching #vietnam #bongro #travel
The future of Coaching in Vietnam!
Coach Nghia & Justin have recently taken over as the Coaching Staff for the Ho Chi Minh City Wings, winning their first game in charge.
Nghia and I met when I first came to Vietnam 14 years ago, playing against each other in a Ho Chi Minh City District tournament, both as young-faced players. Since then Nghia has become one of Vietnam’s top home-grown coaches.
Justin Young is a Vietnam National Team Legend and still going! As he transitions into coaching, he offered us a unique insight into the game in Vietnam.
We discussed the history of the game in Vietnam and the critical importance of upskilling coaches in the Country so that players may benefit and the level of the game can continue to improve. How can possibilities for Vietnamese coaches to travel overseas and learn from other expert coaches be made more accessible?
Thank you Nghia & Justin for taking the time to talk with us whilst on the road in Nha Trang!
With the Meastro himself!
We had the honour and pleasure to spend a couple of hours with Coach Todd Purves, currently at the helm of the Nha Trang Dolphins, during our visit last week.
Todd told great stories about how he came to be in Vietnam, taking the path less travelled. From Advanced Scout in the NBA, to Coaching in Indonesia, Phillippines, and Mongolia, to name a few. Todd has been around the World and was full of great insights into what it takes to have a successful, fulfilling career in the game.
My favourite take-away:
“The Head Coach is the Conductor of the Orchestra. At the pro level it’s not the head coaches job to teach you how to play your instrument.” A great insight into leadership and man-management, at the heart of Todd’s philosophy.
Thank you Todd!
This trip has opened my eyes. There are many people that need help. We are privileged as basketball players & coaches to be able to access facilities, equipment, coaching and support. So many people have little to nothing. We have a responsibility to help where we can and show gratitude for the advantages and opportunities we have received. Shoutout to @hoopitforward @juliasicarovna @andreasbjack_5 @r0ry_burke and the coaches at our camp in Nha Trang. There’s more to do #vbet #basketball #giving
Finding my purpose through doing what I enjoy.
Two projects that I will be pouring my energy into over the coming years.
1. True charity & giving. Creating opportunities for disadvantaged children in Vietnam, and giving to communities in need.
2. Coach education. Providing quality, accessible coaching support for Vietnamese coaches, in local language.
If you would like to be involved in this, or may be able to support, please get in touch!

Shoutout to @_vsbl.official for having us at the Top 100 Basketball Camps in Hanoi. Together with @r0ry_burke we ran 12 hours of hoops with 100 young make & female prospects aged 12-18 years. The future of Hanoi basketball is bright! #basketball #vbet #basketballcoaching #vietnam
The @saigonheat.official has changed and evolved over the years since those early days more than 10 years ago. It’s wild to see a packed stadium to see a professional domestic game, complete with US & Asian imports, as well as polished Vietnamese players making significant contributions at a high level. During VBET it’s a privilege to take our participants to see the pro game here in Vietnam. I look forward to seeing how the future of the game evolves over the next few years #basketball #vbet #basketballcoaching
Huge thank you to Coach DG for taking time on a gameday to sit with us and share insights from 4 years in Vietnam with the Saigon Heat as well as many more years in Asia. We spoke about the cultural differences between basketball in Vietnam, Asia, and Europe. We talked about coaching at the professional level and the role of serendipity in the journey of the Coach. My biggest take-away from this was how inspiring and insightful a truly open and honest conversation can be. Coach DG was happy to discuss any and all aspects of his coaching and was simply hoping to be of service to @r0ry_burke @t0mmyd0 and @harr1son_turner. Thank you!
That time of year is nearly here again…!! Happy birthday to @danielhubbard_17, we will miss you at VBET this year.. @lovespringflowers18 @harley410r

Basketball is a universal language. It’s amazing to be able to go almost anywhere in the World & hoop - last year we were on an off-day in Dalat City in the Mountains. We decided to go for a run (one of my favourite ways to get to know a new place) and stumbled across this little gem of a court.. We actually ran a session there for some kids, then the guys got some 2 on 2 in to finish the night!

Kaizen is a Japanese concept focussed on continuous improvement. It means working bit-by-bit, step-by-step towards a goal. Before you can do that, you need to have a goal, a focus, in mind.. what are you striving for? Use this template to figure out what you want to achieve, and how to get there. I’ll be running an online workshop around this in the coming weeks. Stay tuned #healinghoopers #basketball #basketballtraining #mentaltraining

Lay a foundation for yourself, don’t wait for the tragedy to hit before you learn to take care of yourself #basketball #basketballcoaching #mentaltraining #healinghoopers
Sweeping the floor before meditation - every morning, I tidy up and and prepare the space before beginning my meditation practice. The idea is not only to create a tidy physical space to do the work, but also to sweep away the cobwebs from the mind. It’s a gentle way to move the body after waking up & getting a little stretch in. This is an idea that I think applies to basketball practice. It’s about our approach to our practice and the respect that we give to it. Taking the time to sweep the floor will prepare the physical & mental space for your training. How you do anything is how you do everything. Keep it tidy @tidy_dave #healinghoopers #basketball #mental training

“If you can wait and not be tired by waiting” I really like this line.
In today’s culture, we want success now. We want the social media highlights, not have to sit through the lows and the lulls of the full game. But there’s no depth to that, and if you get addicted to quick fixes, true success won’t be available to you.
True success requires patience. The way to do anything is the way to do everything..
