Lachlan Curtin, Old Boy '23, Basketball. Since graduating in 2023, Lachlan has been living in Nebraska, USA, on a basketball scholarship with the Southeast Community College Bobcats.
Lachlan aspires to be a professional basketballer but is also studying psychology, hoping to become a sports psychologist, and eventually returning to coaching. "I want to see how far I can go."
Switching up positions from a centre in Australia to a small forward in the USA, Lachlan says, "The physicality is a lot higher.. a lot of these players have a fire that makes you step up and go harder."
Maintaining contact with his BGS coaches, he credits Basketball Director Daniel George for turning up to his games, providing him regular feedback, and supporting him to "take a big step up".
"I love the game so much.. I see how much the people who get paid to play the game love it and it motivates me. If they can do it, I can do it."
