How long you want to be the coach?




I was called by my senior from my boarding scholl. He asked me wether i can take a volunteer to train my ex-school student. I said " why not".
Starting from the last week i start coaching the player in from 1 and form two only.

In my opinion, better for me to built up the new player from age of 13 and 14 because they will be next generation of player in that school.

Fortunately, i got about 20 players that are constantly attending my training session. From my coaching view i can see the strenght and passsion some of them.
I have started only 3 session, and i can see they are starting to love the game.

In our country, Malaysia, rugby is not famous like football and badminton. But, every years i can see the progress of this sport in Malaysia where the competition helds all over the country every month. The competitions such as, Jonah Jones, Cobra tens, MSSM under 18, Piala Agong, Iskandar tens, Laksamana tens, sandakan tens, and others .

For me as a teacher, i can see the rugby competition is more often compare to the football competition. Students , for them they want to involve more regularly in the competitions.
Thats why, the training session of the rugby in my school never stop until the school is closed for school break. Then, the session will start again after school break.




I always asked my self, for how long can i stay tuned in this game as a coach?
the answer is " i dont know".
