Ivanhoe Edge 

Hannah Mcclintock, Year 9, University Campus

 I started Ivanhoe Edge when it was first launched in 2023. I came into the basketball program excited to learn new skills and improve my pre-existing skills. Throughout my involvement in the Ivanhoe Edge program, I have seen massive improvements in my results both in the gym and on the basketball court thanks to my Coach KB and personal trainer Sam who have pushed me to continually improve my ball handling skills and to be stronger and faster on the court. Through participating in Ivanhoe Edge I have learned new skills such as different ways to pass a defender, dribbling with intent, and how to run properly which has been incredible.  

Ivanhoe Edge has allowed me to experience the Victorian Institute of Sport, where students from both Plenty and Ridgway came together to explore the athletic facility. We toured this state-of-the-art facility that showcased the equipment athletes used and we also got to meet a few of our favourite athletes which included Australian Opal Sami Whitcomb. 

I look forward to going to my sessions each morning and challenging myself to be better than the week prior. Ivanhoe Edge has also allowed me to establish a great relationship with my coaches who continually guide and push me harder to achieve my best and to create new friendships and build on existing ones.
