Friday, September 15, 2023

"I think it’s about leading by example, getting to know guys and investing in them, getting to know their goals."

Jack McVeigh and Fabijan Krslovic have taken on key roles in Tasmania's leadership group, named as dual vice-captains for NBL24.

The pair join captain Clint Steindl among the JackJumpers' leaders, after becoming mainstays of Scott Roth's relentless, hard-working teams across the past two seasons.

“We’ve both been here from the start and so it’s really special to be able to do this with one of my best friends” McVeigh told the club's website.

“I think it’s about leading by example, getting to know guys and investing in them, getting to know their goals and how I can help them achieve that.”

Steindl's wife Kayla, and children Noah and Addison were in the team room for the announcement along with the JackJumpers' entire front office, players and coaching staff, while McVeigh's fiancé Beth and Krslovic's parents watched the announcement on Zoom from interstate.

“I had a little inkling something was up when Rat [Mark Radford] asked what my Dad’s work hours are, but no it’s super special for them to be able to share in that, I know they’re really proud, not just of this, but of everything the club has been able to achieve and continues to,” Krslovic said.

“We’ve been living and breathing the culture and the values of this every day, so it’s exciting to help progress that even further in this role and have that added responsibility.”

The JackJumpers will take close to a full squad to the Gold Coast for the Hungry Jack's NBL Blitz, with only Will Magnay sidelined due to a foot injury.
