“Players are enthusiastic to play but they are not playing to their potential because the coaches are not well trained. The products you see is what the coach has put into them so if it’s very good, then there is a very good coach.”
“We all follow sports, in all spheres, it’s just basic that if you don’t have competent people bringing up your kids, they will end up very very limited in what they can do. To help us go to the next level internationally, we should develop our coaches at the base” Kukula said.
