What a ripper of a weekend! Unfortunately, I did not get to play this weekend, but was still able to be heavily involved in the weekend taking on the Assistant Coaching duties. This was a massive bonus for me to still play a part in helping the team collect the North Qld Title.

It was brilliant to watch the girls rip in and see all our hard training come together on the court. I was so impressed to see the way Tracy Upton organised the girls all over the court from the Centre position. I still got to learn from her, even though I was in the coaching ranks. She has a wonderful, calming influence on the court.

I want to thank Capricorn Netball and Barb Ahmat for supporting me in taking on the AC duties. It is wonderful to be a part of such a professional organisation and learn from such impressive people. I got an insight into the behind the scenes happenings of the Claws and wow, does a lot of work go on that the players don’t realise. It was great to develop a better understanding of Senior Rep Netball from a coaching view. It is also scary how much Barb & I thought alike. (Good scary, Coach!)

Most importantly, Cap Claws: 2010 North Qld Champs (check!)

Watch out Brissy, we aren’t finished yet.
