First of all, I would like to thank and acknowledge Andrew Jantke for his ongoing support on and off the court for every athlete he has come across. Just like myself and many athletes would say his commitment to every individual person shows the kind of caring person he is as he just wants to see everyone prosper into a better person.
- From an Adelaide 36ers Development player and college commit
"He has previously held the role of coaching director at the Central Lions Basketball Club where he developed a program from the point of near extinction to a model for future development. From there he chose to focus primarily on elite level athletes at the Sturt Basketball Club. Here he was responsible for coaching and developing 5 athletes from his team into members of National Junior teams. This was despite numerous of those members not being involved in the SA NITP."
- From a top club Director of Coaching
"I feel the players took to him and developed a supreme self-belief and confidence. He knows how to lead, without micromanaging, and players and coaching staff both feel empowered, supported and confident.
Andrew is the most passionate coach I know and throw in the love of the game and the hard selfless work that he puts into every single player that he coaches is amazing."
