Former SFU Star Jeremy Neufeld

On this episode of Interviews with Anthony Beyrouti, Anthony sits down with Jeremy Neufeld; a retired collegiate athlete, parent and coach in our program.   During his interview, Jeremy talks about the value of getting in the gym for extra practice and finding opportunities to go and watch high-level basketball in order to improve your knowledge of the game.  Following his high school career at Sardis Secondary, Jeremy played on the BC U19 Team where he led his squad to a gold medal win the Canadian National Championships.   From there, Jeremy went on to have a very successful post-secondary career playing for both UFV, under Head Coach Pat Lee, and SFU under Head Coach, Scott Clark (2000-2002). During Jeremy's career at SFU, he played in both the NAIA and the CIS, averaging 33 mpg, shooting 46% from the field.   After ending his university basketball career, Neufeld went on to become a teacher and Athletic Director at Riverside Secondary in Port Coquitlam where he has coached in both the boys' and girls' programs for the past 13 years.  In 2009, Neufeld laced his sneakers back up, playing one season for Vancouver's Professional IBL Team, The BC Titans.
