Listen "C3 with Kerryn Mitchell (nee Owens) - Part 1"
Episode Synopsis
Our guest for Episode 15 is Kerryn Mitchell. It was so great to catch up for a coffee and officially welcome my former teammate Kezz to the City of Churches ahead of her debut as Head Coach of the New look Adelaide Lightning. Kerryn Owens (maiden name) played her first of ten WNBL season under Coach Lori Chizik for Nunawading at the age of 17 before moving to Canberra to play 4 seasons with the Caps. The Mum of 3 and Primary School Teacher transitioned from player to coach when her youngest started playing ather own Junior Club Frankston. It didn’t take long for Kerryn to use her experience, knowledge and connections to not only improve the local program but have success at a statelevel for Victoria while leading the launch and growth of The Flinders Basketball Academy | Flinders Christian Community College. Ahead of the 2026 Adelaide Lighting Season Launch next month it is easy to see why she was the perfect choice to leadthe team into this exciting new chapter.I hope you enjoy the catch-up as much as we did. ⚡️Adelaide Lightning Head Coach 🖤 NZL Tall Ferns Assistant Coach🏀 Flinders Basketball Academy Special Advisor🏀 NBA Academy Next Generation Camp Assistant Coach🏆 2024 WNBL Championship - Ass Coach Southside Flyers🏀WNBL Southside Flyers Assistant Coach, 2022 - 2024🏀 Sandringham Sabres NBL1 Head Coach🏀 Victorian Women’s U20 State team Assistant Coach, 2019 - 2021🏀 Frankston Blues YLW Head Coach 2021🏀U20 Victorian Women's State team, Head Coach 2022🏀 Basketball Australia Elite Female Coach Advancement Program 2021🏀 Bendigo Spirit WNBL Melbourne based individuals coach 2020🏀 3 years playing in Europe as an import🏀 10-year WNBL player💙 Canberra Capitals Club MVP 1995Club Captain 1996, 97Club Defensive Player of the Year 1995, 96 & 97Club Most Assists 1996Club Most Steals 1996🏀 National and VIC State Junior representative
