Ross Weightman  

After completing Year 12 at Ballarat Christian College, Ross completed a Diploma in Sports Development at Victoria University Basketball Academy before becoming a contracted player with the Ballarat Basketball Miners. In addition, he had a fulfilling role as a Mentor/Coach for Ballarat Basketball. This allowed him to visit dozens of schools in the Ballarat area, helping to inspire and inform students.

Ross is currently studying a Business degree in Marketing from Federation University and works in hospitality in the Ballina-Byron region in NSW, recently becoming one of the managers at Lennox Hotel.

The leadership roles I fulfilled at BalCC helped me to take on bigger roles in the wider community, such as captaining the Youth League Miners team, coming back to BalCC to coach the Bullets Basketball team in 2015 and 2016 and running coaching clinics for basketball. Although your time at school is brief, make the most of your time there because it’s so important and will lay the foundations for your future.
