🚨🚨 COLLEGE PATHWAY INFORMATION SESSION 🚨🚨

We are lucky enough to work with Global Sports Agent, Jon Newlee. Jon is an agent for ASM (Athlete Sports Management) after coaching for over 30 years in the College system. His experience alone is enough, but Jon is also highly accomplished being the most winningest coach in University of Idaho Vandels history as well as multiple Coach of the Year for Big Sky - just to name a couple of accolades.

Join Jon and FTA for an Information session this coming Monday, 10th August at 6.45am via Teams. Costs are involved to join.

Who should join?… Anyone who has aspirations to go to College. Especially if you are in High School Year 8-12 so you can start preparing for what you need to do.

What will the session involve?
• Process to get to College
• Advice with subject selection and grades to help get to college
• What the college coaches want to see
• and a space to ask questions

This is an opportunity that you don’t get here - a direct line to an experienced College Coach and Sports Agent to assist you with knowing whats next and how to prepare.

⭐ ELITE MENTORING PROGRAM PLAYER ACCOMPLISHMENTS ⭐

ISLA REYNOLDS has been a member of our EMP Program since February 2025 and has committed herself, in a big way, to her development.

Isla has received the Coaches Award for the 2026 U14G Roar rep season. This is the 2nd year in a row that Isla has received this award for rep.

At the end of the 2025/26 Club Summer Season, Isla received the following awards
• U14G Glory - MVP
• U16G Legacy - MVP
• Silver medal - U14G Glory

U14 Comp Statistics
• 3rd in total points
• ⁠1st for total free throws
• ⁠equal 1st for 3-Pts

U16 Comp Statistics (playing up an age group)
• 1st for 3-pt Made
• 2nd for total free throws
• ⁠7th for total points

Aside from all this, Isla has also improved in her EMP and FTA specific areas too from 2025 to 2026. Testing Improvements:
• 1min Active : Block shoots now at 80%, Elbows now at 52.9% (improved by almost 20%
• Catch & Shoot: Midrange now 28/35 (an increase of 60%), 3pt now 13/35 (an increase of 15%), Curry Shooting from 11 to 42 (now the highest record for Girls within FTA) and Thompson Shooting has almost doubled her score now at 44%.
• Free Throws: an increase of 20% overall.
• Dunk Program: overall an increase of 40cm to Vertical Jump (across 3 tests)

The consistency of Isla's training has lead to continued and consistent increase in her testings, but also continued and increased performance in games.

I has seen Isla grow from when I had her as a bottom age U12 player and watching her most recently with her confidence and maturity as a player makes me super proud. Keep up the hard work Isla. It is all paying off and will continue to do so as you continue to work hard for your goals.

😎 ELITE MENTORING PROGRAM - Recovery ✌🏽

Feeling refreshed
Feeling rejuvenated

Our Mentoring Program players completed their Shooting Testing yesterday and got into the ice 🧊 baths and sauna (cold/hot recovery) and the compressions legs.

We do this every holidays. It allows the players to start the next term feeling like their bodies have hit a reset button

Recovery sessions are available to ALL - book like a regular session for compressions (now with hip and arm attachments!). 1hr of recovery each week/fortnight is well worth it for the assurance you are reducing risk of injury, increasing energy levels and ensuring you can play and train your best every time you hit the court!

ONLY 3x MENTORING PROGRAM SPOTS AVAILABLE

BOOK ONLINE FOR YOUR RECOVERY OR ON COURT DEVELOPMENT AT www.fortitudetraining.com.au/book-online
