I was very fortunate to witness the first session of the senior national team this evening( Monday January 12th 2009) at the Lester Vaughan School. Did I say team? Maybe that was what I was hoping for. THREE girls attended what was a truly vigorous session with chief "trainer" Alwyn Babb. What made the situation even more disgusting was that coach Waithe and the BNA have to find ways and means for Barbados to maintain it's present ranking.
That only three players attended( coincidentally all from the same club) the question to be asked is,"Where were the other 9?" Comeon, this is the national team we are hoping to put us in the top 10 of netball and if the players aren't committed to train, are we going to look for others?
Personally I don't think that the MISSING 9 will give the same excuse/reason for not attending the session as they should've. What happens if they do ??
No amount of drills,no matter how skilled and no amount of pleading will win any titles where too much indiscipline exists.
