The South African netball team led by Bongi Msomi is working towards becoming one of the world’s best. So they asked if I would fill in and that is where it started for me, I was hooked. It took her a little longer for senior team recognition though, as she attended a number of camps without being selected, until she made her bow at the 2011 World Cup in Singapore. “But it also shows me that we do have a long way to go in South Africa, when you see how professional players train, eat and look after themselves. She spends a lot of time doing development work when she is back in South Africa, inspiring young girls to take up the sport.”-Nick Said
