Your know, I'm really glad that my coach decided to coach us. This new coach is soo much better than my previous coach. A thousand times better! Maybe for those who do not know him wont think that way. Probably they will think my coach is stuck up and has a problem or two with people walking across our netball court while we are training. But they dont see what a nice person my coach can be. He is harsh and strict but it is necessary if we want to get better. He is serious when it comes to training but outside of the court, you will see him joking with us. Ya lar, sometimes I dont like him to say vulgar words when we make stupid mistakes. But, I forgive him for that lah.
With the previous coach, I never had a chance to prove myself. I was dimmed the weakest and I will forever be the weakest. But this new coach, he does not give a shit. (oops! his vulgarities shown up in me) He gave me a chance to train together with the others and gave me lots of chance to play in court games. And I respect him and I work hard. That is why I wont skip trainings. If I have to sacrifice my time with my friends, I will do it. Cause I was given the chance to prove my strength and that I dont suck at netball.
I accept his criticism as he does it so that I would know where I go wrong and to learn from them. As much as he criticise, he does give praises as well. There are many times he praise me in front of my team mates. And shameful as I am to admit this, I felt myself being raised up a notch in my team mates eyes. He isn't bias, well not the obvious bias if you know what I mean. Good player or bad player, he will still train you as long as you are willing to be trained and to come for training. He give us gifts as well and I am a total sucker for gifts! You give me gifts and you are instantly my friend! Haha! I just respect my coach alot alot.
And I am sad that he choose to leave us. He told our teacher-in-charge that he is deciding to leave as we are not producing results and not every single member comes for training and he said he is quite demoralised whereas in other schools, the girls are much more committed and train almost every single day.
Soo, we came up with a plan today to win our coach back. To make him not leave us. Our teacher told us that many schools literally beg him to come and train them. So we thought that they are planning to steal our coach so we are going to steal him back! So we decided to show him how committed we are by coming almost every day to train and staying back to train some more after training. Well, we can only try to win him back. The decision is his alone to make.
