  • Founder/Head Coach

    Matthew Wilson is the founder and head coach of Wilson Aspire Hoops Academy (WAHA), bringing over a decade of international basketball experience to Brisbane’s Bayside.

    As a former New Zealand U20s representative and professional player across Spain, Italy, Ireland, Germany, England, China, Taiwan, and New Zealand, Matthew has competed and learned from some of the world’s most competitive basketball systems.

    Now based in Wynnum West, he has shifted his focus from playing to developing the next generation of athletes. Matthew combines global basketball knowledge with a passion for teaching fundamentals, leadership, and confidence — building players who are not only skilled on the court, but coachable, disciplined, and ready for opportunities at higher levels.

    His vision for WAHA is simple: to bridge the gap between grassroots and elite basketball pathways, helping every player unlock their potential.
