Sydney Kings assistant coach (Fleur McIntyre)

Fresh off the back of a clean sweep victory in the NBL finals. Fleur recounts what it's been like partying with the team this week & some highlights from the season. Making history as the first female to win a NBL championship ring. 

We also discuss Fleur's back story and how much hard work went into getting that opportunity when Luc Longley called her last year, asking her to apply for the job. Her career CV is something pretty impressive with a Bachelor of science at UWA , then a PHD in health science at Notre Dame where she was the discipline head of Exercise & Sports science for 12 years as well as a researcher, lecturer & academic. 

Fleur played 270 games for Cockburn Cougars, was the State WA captain under 18s & 20s winning 5 MVP awards.  She has been a coach at the Perth lynx as well as the SBL commissioner. 

A really enjoyable chat with a lady who prides herself on taking a real interest & care for other human beings, whether that's her players on the court or students at Uni. She is living in the present & enjoying the coaching journey so far, excited to get back to her old stomping ground in Freo shortly for some well earned down time.
