ABOUT BODI BAUK
A coach.
A teacher of the game.
Always a student.
I’m a Western Australian basketball coach with experience across WABL Championship and divisional basketball, State Championships, domestic clubs, school teams and academy environments.
I’ve coached girls and boys, planned training, led teams on game day and supported individual player development. The Coaching Court is where I share what I’ve learned and keep learning alongside other coaches.

Approximately nine to ten years of junior WABL basketball with East Perth Eagles, alongside school basketball at Guildford Grammar.
My playing experience included the Dandenong Classic in Melbourne and a FARM Academy basketball tour of the United States in 2018.
HOW I COACH
Your ambition.
Our shared purpose.
Individual development starts with you
Every athlete has a different reason for playing and a different idea of how far they want to go. My first job is to understand yours. That might mean building confidence, earning a place in the top WABL division, or working towards opportunities in D League and NBL1. Together, we identify where you are now, where you want to be, and the habits and skills that can help you take the next step.
I want development to carry into games. Alongside individual skill work, I help athletes understand their role, recognise situations and make better decisions. Film breakdown gives us another way to learn, looking at what happened, why it happened and what we can do next. The aim is to build confident, thoughtful players who understand their own game and take ownership of their improvement.
A team is a collective
My teams need to be connected. Players should trust one another, enjoy being in each other’s company and feel valued for what they bring. I believe that sense of belonging helps people communicate honestly, accept feedback and support each other through the challenges of a season.
We work towards a shared goal, with clear roles and standards that apply to everyone. Individual ambition has a place within that, and part of my role is helping each player see how their growth can strengthen the group. We celebrate each other’s progress, hold ourselves accountable and learn to value the contributions that help the team succeed, including the ones that never appear on a scoresheet.
On court, I want players to understand the why behind our approach. I teach principles that help them read the game, make decisions together and trust the teammate beside them. The way we play should suit the people in the group, while our commitment to effort, communication and each other stays consistent.
