Hello South Africa!
I'm ready to continue my work as coach of the NT, everyone can ask my a question about my plans or opinion regarding the team. Progress has been made in the past two seasons, and it looks like that this will continue to be the case in the seasons to come. Here are some points that I will focus on:
1. In the AfroBasket Championship win a medal again, we done well last time and right now we are 4th of Africa so a bronze medal is the most likely outcome for us. Ofcourse it would be nice to reach the final of the tournemant but right now it's not realistic to aim for that, in some seasons it is possible with some good training of our players. The gap between South Africa and the African teams above is smaller than it was 3 seasons ago.
2. Continue to climb the national team ranking every season, that's the goal and it will take time to reach let's say rank 60 or 50 within the next 2 seasons, but I will do my best to make progress atleast every season. I keep track of the points and standings every season, and so far we improved ever since I took over as NT coach.
3. Keep pushing the coaches of our key players to give them maximum training, as those players will be the most important to train for the good of the national team. I'm putting in some younger players who will take over for some of the old ones, next season 2 or 3 players will retire from the squad to make place for some talents. I established some good communication with most coaches to train their NT players, and they are willing to put in an effort to train them as much as they can.
Greetings from your proud South Africa NT coach!
