It aint the formula that Banks Spurs had a few years ago when they won the Division 1 netball crown but it's the Midas magic that seems to follow me around.
In Barbados, there was success with Harrison College, the Lester Vaughan School, Spooners Hill ( multiple), BWU and NCC. Now that magic has followed me here to Canada. Again !!
In 2005 it was Montreal,Quebec and now it's Toronto,Ontario where I'm helping the Wendell Greenidge ( yeah my brother) coached Twilight Netball Club to create a netball dynasty here in this province.
Success breeds success and as demonstrated by the victorious NCC team in this year's BNA Premier division, total commitment is paramount to winning and like Spooners Hill in the past, it doesn't take a galaxy of stars to win.
Unlike some of the big name coaches who are ultimately arm-chair ones, it's not about ONLY winning with the elitest of the 'elite'.
With Spooners Hill, we were able to overcome obstacles with a supporting cast for the newly retired Lydia Bishop which included former nationals Paula Greaves and Denise Forde,ace goal attack Renee Rudder, Alicia Jemmott, stalwart Janice Stoute,Joanne Soleyn, Rhonda Walcott, Sandra Forde and numerous others.
Twilight has carved a niche for themselves in netball in Ontario and they have done so against great odds. TNC is a club nobody likes ( do I hear SH?) but plays the most incredible style of netball in this province.
Nobody said it would be an easy road to the top and they never said how to get there.
Idiots shouldn't play sports and I've coached plenty of intelligent people. Idiots shouldn't COACH either, they never know how to win !
Success will follow success despite all odds !
