I'm Max Gilmour, a Year 13 student at Westlake Boys High School and the founder of To The Max Basketball.I've been playing basketball since my first year of primary school and was part of the top teams at Westlake through Year 11. I stepped away from playing in the 2nd Premier team in Year 12, not because I lost love for the game, but because I lacked the time and support.Now, I’ve built this program to give younger players what I didn’t have: real coaching, high-level development, and a pathway to becoming confident, high school-ready athletes. I’m here to make sure these players don’t repeat the mistakes I made.I live in Torbay, and I am kindly supported by Harbour Basketball while running game-based, high-energy morning sessions for Year 7-8 students across the North Shore.This is more than just basketball to me. It’s about growth, confidence, and building a foundation that lasts beyond the court.
