Love Of The Game Freed Harry Froling From His Darkest Days
Melbourne Tigers centre Harry Froling admits he was feeling sorry for himself when close mate and NBL champion Will Magnay and former NBL1 teammate Lachie Venus' tough love "spray" helped turn his life around.
“It got to the point where Magnay and Lachie gave me a bit of a spray and they’re ‘if you don’t want to help yourself, we can’t help you’ and that sort of just sunk in,” Froling revealed to basketball.com.au.
“I was just playing the victim a lot, which obviously I was a victim, but they let me go through my grieving process and be upset and be down in the dumps… but it got to the point where I kept dragging it along,” he said.

How The Eagles Have Soared Above The Rest In NBL1 Central
Forestville Eagles are the lone NBL1 club around the country with both teams finishing in top spots with Central championship winning men's captain Adam Doyle hoping to celebrate another title as a new father.
With both their women and men finishing the regular season in top spot, the Eagles have earned a break in the first week of the finals and the title of championship favourites.
After an interrupted preparation, the Eagles women pulled things together to finish at 15-3 with Sam Simons, Maddy Freer, Jess Simons, Rachel King and Ella Sawyer showing the way under coach Toby Schaftenaar.
Then there's the defending champion men featuring DJ Vasiljevic, Daniel Johnson, Greg Mays and Alex Starling.
Both Forestville teams made grand finals last year, are on track to be back there this year at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and men's captain Doyle is proud to be part of the culture built.

More Left in Pineau's Decorated Career
Dane Pineau is enjoying his first few months not being a professional basketballer after selflessly retiring from the NBL and is desperate for his NBL1 South season with the Sandringham Sabres to continue beyond this weekend.
There was no reason the 30-year-old centre couldn't have extended his NBL career beyond the 164 games he played at the Sydney Kings, South East Melbourne Phoenix and finally, the New Zealand Breakers.
However, he decided he couldn’t live with himself if he took the roster spot from an up and coming young player desperate for a chance just like he was back in 2017 when he was back home from Saint Mary's University.
