“It’s my first trip to a multi-code sports event,” she says. “Hans has been several times and come back to tell me all the magical stories about Team SA and I’m so excited to be part of the team. We may be one of the smaller codes but I really hope to be part of helping give them their best chance at winning medals.
“We just have to teach our female boxers to hit the target better and not be so wild but still, Open female boxing has improved 200% in the past few years.” But the resistance she encountered from her fellow coaches was palpable. “None of the group discussions were in English. Even the international facilitator from Sri Lanka was non-plussed.”
The next day she decided to take matters into her own hands and started hitting back and by doing so started to earn respect.
