25.01.2022 I know she will hate me for it... but this pic shows it all - the absolutely drained, tired, warn out face of a girl who just gave it everything. Congratulations on Silver to Elite Mentoring player Casey Walker. Known for her tenacity on D, Casey led from the front on O (quite literally had to run the PG) and she did an amazing job. 13pts, multiple assists and then putting her body on the line time and time again in D. Was proud to watch you win Silver in your last year. More proud with how you do it - respectfully, with 100% effort and until you look as red as your jersey. Also a shoutout to 2 other Elite Mentoring players: Halle Brooker for finishing 2nd in 3pt Made, and Katelyn Donovan for finishing 4th for FT Made across the whole competition. Well done girls. #proudofyouall

24.01.2022 Good luck to everyone on their final day of the U16 State Champs. The Gold Coast Waves girls are playing their Grand Final at 2.15pm today against Mackay for the championship. Our coach Cassie Dover will be commentating the livestream if you are watching, keep an ear out. There are 3 Fortitude girls representing on the GF and alot more in their final games across the U16 comp. Go hard everyone!

23.01.2022 Good luck to all our Elite Mentoring and Group/Individual session players who are participating in the All Schools competition across Logan and Brisbane this week. We look forward to hearing your results. All the best

23.01.2022 Good luck to @cfrannykg and @amelialilly for your season. Both these lovely ladies have been guest speakers for our Elite Mentoring Program players and we wish them both the best of luck for their WNBL season up in North QLD. We will be cheering you on from the GC.

22.01.2022 Wishing our two Elite Mentoring and absolute superstars all the best for their last day of Nationals. . The girls are playing off for Bronze today to hopefully cap off their tournament. . Good luck Jade and Ella. We are proud of you no matter what!... . #ajn #bq #weareqld #basketball #nationals #goodluck See more

22.01.2022 Amazinggggggg results by Dallin today! After just 4 sessions of the Girls Get Gains program, Dallin gained 8cm on her Vertical Jump!!! Great job Dallin. We love seeing your progress and cant wait to see how it impacts you on the basketball court

22.01.2022 Huge HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Halle Brooker for winning the QSL2 LEAGUE MVP! Halle had an amazing season this year leading her team not only in points but through her efforts and dedication to the team as Captain. Her defense is a huge part of her game as well and while stats don’t show this side of the court, I know it’s a huge reason why she stays out on the floor and gets rewarded on the offensive end. Halle is a part of our Elite Mentoring Program - she continues to develop each year in the GC QBL/QSL programs. Couldn’t be happier for you, and most certainly a well deserved reward for all your efforts. Congratulations again Halle! Ricky Brooker Kylie Brooker

21.01.2022 What little champions! Congratulations to Holly Hunter and her team on winning GOLD at the State Champs. Holly. Was unable to play due to a broken arm but she was by her teams side cheering from a 9pt deficit to win by 15 in their Grand Final. Amazing job!

21.01.2022 No truer can these words be.... For those who are already talented: Talent will get you so far. You are gifted, but work ethic is what makes or breaks you - DON’T BECOME COMPLACENT. For those who aren’t as gifted, if you work hard, grind it out and continue to OUTWORK your competition at some point it will all pay off - DON’T GIVE UP.... What do you do each day to acheive your goals? How hard are you willing to work to make your dreams a reality. It doesn’t just happen, it is EARNED. #gogetit #putinthework #basketball #nba #wnba #wnbl #nbl #dreams #workhard #hardworkbeatstalent #grind #earnt See more

21.01.2022 Congratulations to Eden who finished her first South Coast tournament off with a 5th place finish. Eden has just started our Girls Get Gains program too so we are excited to see her take off......

21.01.2022 The @keebraparkhighschool boys were amazing this tournament and was proud to be a part of it. We are still in the baby stages of our Basketball Program but the growth from these boys in the last 4 days has been amazing. They have always been a great team, but today they showed complete composure and maturity in the way they handled the pressure (which would normally be our undoing). We lost by 1, IN OVERTIME, ON THE BUZZER after being down by 7 not too long before. Exciting times ahead for the Keebra Park Basketball Excellence program. The ball is rollin! I am thrilled to be a part of it #punintended #proud #cbsq

20.01.2022 NEXT DATE: Sunday 6th December, 4-6pm. Lock it in! #3x3

19.01.2022 While we are boasting - Keebra SHS has finished top of their Pool for the FIRST TIME EVER. So off to the Top 8 and hopefully securing a Top 4 position with a win in the morning. The boys have shown an extreme amount of growth over the last 12 months and have progressed further than any other Keebra Basketball team ever. Great work coaches (Bridget and Patty, and our own @cassonce6) and especially the players. Keep going strong boys

19.01.2022 Last State Champs for the holidays. All the best to the U14 girls who are in Mackay. There are plenty of girls representing Fortitude this week. Good luck to you all!

18.01.2022 2020 was our best year yet! I know COVID disrupted the norm for both life and basketball but it meant that Fortitude was able to form new programs, grow old ones and assist more players in their basketball journey. . The start of our new Elite Mentoring Program, our Iso-Ball Online skills and shooting sessions, the beginning of our Dunk and Girls Get Gains gym programs, and our 3x3 Open Scrimmages. . We continued our relationship with @keebraparkhighschool and the school had ...their most successful year with their Basketball Excellence Program. Along with that, we helped form and build the @central_stars_basketball_gc club out of Keebra for their first year in the @gcbasketball_ competitions. . We continued to build our Group and Individual sessions as well as our Premier League Women’s teams winning both comps this year (White, then Black). . BEST OF ALL - We are a full-time academy (since October) which has allowed us to do all the above, MORE OF THE TIME! . We want to thank all current and past players and parents who have all been a part of the Fortitude Training Academy. Without you and your support, we could not do what we love and watch all the players grow not only on the court, but off also. We love what we do and we thank you for your faith and commitment in our program. . Wishing everyone a safe and hopefully and much less interrupted 2021 See more

18.01.2022 It is said by coaches all the time. Game pace. Train as hard as you play. Dont slow down. Do it at speed. . Words are just words until you make a conscious effort to physically do it. But the issue isnt in the doing - its the fact that people dont like to fail. . But guess what - if you dont go at game pace, full speed, you can never correct the errors and train them out.... . Be willing to go fast, be willing to make mistake, be willing to fail. This is where you grow. Be comfortable with being uncomfortable at training and make those mistakes so that they become comfortable. . Its all about growth and development. You cant get better at things you dont practise or fail at. . #mj #23 #basketball #truth #gains #mistakes #comfortzones #comfortable #uncomfortable #growth See more

17.01.2022 Congratulations to these 3 talented girls who not only won Silver at the QLD Schools but all 3 got selected to the QLD Honorary team. Jade and Katelyn are both part of our Elite Mentoring Program It is great to see you all rewarded for your efforts on court. Much deserving. Congratulations again.

16.01.2022 Congratulations to Campbell on a great year. Gaining SILVER at State Champs with the GOLD from BQJBC. Amazing achievement young man. Keep working hard for your goals.

14.01.2022 Back on the live stream for the QSL1 Men is Cassonce Dover. Jump on and watch the 2nd half.

13.01.2022 So proud if our two Elite Mentoring girls - Jade and Ella. They finished 4th in the country at Australian Junior Nationals. . Ella was thrown into a whole new atmosphere and experience and is better equipped to know what Nationals is all about. While court time was limited, she showed great sportsmanship in the way she supported and cheered her team mates. You can never always be a star and being able tk be a great team mate shows great character! Well done Ella. . Jade start...ed the tournament with very limited time in the first game and 3rd off the bench. By the end of the tournament she cemented her spot in the starting 5. There were two outcomes: sit and be upset, or go out there and prove yourself. Jade certainly had the right attitude and to continue to grow in these areas of her game. . I am so proud of you both and I sat there and watch (not all but alot), there was nothing I could fault with you both. Keep pushing towards your dreams. This is just the beginning. . #proud #ajc #australia #bq #weareqld See more

11.01.2022 Good luck to all the U14 Fortitude players participating in the State Championships in Cairns. Boys are now day 2. Congrats to Nathan (Seahawks) and Declan and Lockie (GC Rollers) for already being 2-0 after one day in their games #stillbasketball #anothertournament

11.01.2022 Katelyn and Jordan taking 2 of the top 5 spots at the State Champs in Division 1. Well done girls.

11.01.2022 Records being broken and coming in many forms lately... the latest is Katelyn from the 3pt line. . Katie started 3pt testing in November 2020. This came from wanting to expand her offensive game. If you have ever watched her, you’ll see she can use her length and speed on D, and use her athleticism to get to the basket but Katie wanted to add to her game and be more of a threat on the perimeter and be a consistent shooter. . 3pt line from 7 spots, 5 swish (counting makes and ...misses) and Katie has been able increase her percentage (from 48% up to 68%) and decrease the attempts to get there (234 down to 88). . We have had tears, disappointment, barriers and challenges trying to bring consistency to her 3pt shot but it is great to see that it is all finally coming together. The confidence that comes from putting in the hard work will soon show in games and cannot wait to watch it! . #shooter #testing #confidence #killingit #swish #hardwork #basketball See more

10.01.2022 They are off to the Grand Final!!! Katelyn Donovan and Jade Peacock are two of our Elite Mentoring players. Jordan Billing is also a Fortitude player and all 3 come to individual and group sessions. They also all committed to improving their game over Covid and you can see it on court throughout this tournament. The team has had adversity through losing teammates to injury, fatigue from playing now 7 days straight and the status of them meant to win but they continue to... grind out games, knuckle down on D and get the job done. Congratulations for getting to the GF girls and good luck for the game!! You girls are awesome! Love watching you all play #steppingup #trystopthem See more

Elite Mentoring player Katelyn Donovan absolutely killed it today with 39pts (15 FTM) in her crossover for Southport SHS with the top score of the game and advancing through to the Top 8 in Championship Division. For someone that deems themself a defensive player, Katelyn has worked her butt off and this puts her as the 8th Top Scorer in the competition.... Congratulations on a great game Katelyn and good luck for the Quarter Final tomorrow. #watchout #shewasunstoppable #emp #fta See more
