Meet Tom Morland—a dedicated athlete who gives his all, both on and off the court! 🏀💪
Tom started playing basketball at just 10 years old, and his journey has been nothing short of incredible. In 2022, he dropped a massive 60 points across all games in a national game in Hamilton! He was later selected as one of ten players to represent Tasmania, Australia, in his first-ever international match—an unforgettable moment that left him speechless.
In Feb 2024 Tom was invited to play for Tasmania, and then selected for the NZ team for the tournament in Feb 2025 finishing 4th out of 8 teams. Now, he’s in the running to be selected for the New Zealand Whaikaha Basketball Association team, set to compete in Asia against powerhouse teams from Japan, China, and other Pacific nations. 🇳🇿🏆
Beyond his own achievements, Tom is passionate about giving back. He has been coaching the Wairarapa Special Olympics basketball team for the past three years, helping young athletes grow and develop their love for the sport.
Tom trains hard at Strength Nation, constantly pushing himself to new heights. If you see him around the gym, don’t be shy-he loves a good chat! 👊🔥
