I’m taking yet another step in my netball journey this year.

I’m coaching our youngest grade.

I’m REALLY excited about it.

I had a wonderful coach for a year when I was a child.

A lady who treated everybody like they mattered.

She was tough but fair.

And it’s always stayed with me.

So, deep down, I’ve always had this longing to coach netball.

A dream that’s hard to realise when you don’t even play.

But, of course, now that I’m playing, it’s a dream I’m actually getting to fulfill.

To begin with, I didn’t tell anybody that I was coaching the F-Grade.

I was scared they’d find somebody “better” and I wouldn’t get to coach after all.

Just my personal insecurities playing out there.

After all, everybody has to start somewhere.

So, last night was my first training session.

And it was SO.  MUCH.  FUN!!!

And I had very little voice by the end of it!

I really hope the girls enjoyed it.

I’m guessing by the fact that they didn’t want it to end that they did.

And when it was time for senior training, I had my own little cheer squad calling out my name when I ran past.

SO CUTE!!!!
