Wandella Football Netball Club Record Notes Round 4

Coach Name: Eboni Boyd

A Grade Joint Coach

How long have you been coaching and how did you get started?

This is my first official time coaching – thanks to a very persuasive, supportive group of people.

What do you love most about coaching?

Finally having the authority to say what’s on my mind and not just over stepping with my big mouth.

What’s your coaching philosophy in a sentence or two?

After googling exactly what philosophy means – Don’t get hung up on the thing we can’t control. Focus on the things we can control – our attitude, effort, energy and out communication good people make good players.

What’s one goal you have for your team this year?

To create an atmosphere that girls can’t wait to wake up and go to netball.

What’s your proudest coaching moment so far?

Can’t say iv been in the role long enough to say a particular moment. But with the bunch of legends that we have out together this year, I’m sure the moments are going to come in hot and heavy.

Who inspires you as a coach and why?

Dennis Carmichael and Brett Boyd- after the countless hours carting their daughters around to netball tournaments, they could tell us exactly where we went wrong and what we could do better for the day, there was always a car trip full of feedback on the way home. If you were to ask them, they probably could have done it better. But they were always the loudest supporters on the sidelines, cheering and carrying on, week in and week out, it was like they were the only people in the crowd.

What’s one fun fact about you that people might not know?

I am absolutely shit scared of mice What do you enjoy doing outside of coaching? I don’t mind saddling up my horse or having a cold beverage with some friends and family- bonus points if we manage to mix the 2 together

If your team could describe you in three words, what would they be?

Supportive, honest and definitely tactful
