Ex-Great Britain women’s head coach Mark Clark joins the MVP Cast.
The former British Basketball performance director (pictured left, with Ed Warner) gives us his state of the nation on how the strategy for the sport’s growth has evolved and where its potential remains untapped, his disappointment at not leading GB all the way to the London 2012 Olympics, the secret of the success of the old Crystal Palace programme where he began and polishing the rough diamond that was Andrea Congreaves.
Mark goes on a deep dive into the academy he established at Barking Abbey, how its model might be expanded further towards the BBL and WBBL – and his alternate role as father to Dan and Ella and the role parents can play in advising on basketball decisions.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
