“The truth is that being coached properly to play a sport has little to do with learning how to play that specific sport. Rather, it has everything to do with discovering, accepting, and valuing ourselves, those with whom we play and those who make our play possible. When we acquire this more complete personal knowledge, we can begin to build better families, stronger communities and ultimately a greater nation,” says Professor Tim Noakes, director of the MRC/UCT RESEARCH UNIT FOR EXERCISE SCIENCE AND SPORTS MEDICINE.
