The wise person learns from every person, the wiser one learns from every thing, and the wisest person learns from every mistake.” This ancient proverb perfectly captures the spirit of continuous learning, a principle that Anderson Ndala and Ramesh Banda, our dedicated tennis coaches, wholeheartedly embraced. The two coaches together with 10 others attended the workshop held at the Lilongwe Golf Club on 21st and 22nd November, 2024.
The duo was invited to a 2-day workshop hosted by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), SADC Representative. The workshop delved into the realm of Physical Literacy, a concept that would revolutionize their coaching approach. Over the course of two intensive days, they were deep in the details of athletic development, learning how to cultivate not just skilled players, but well-rounded athletes.
They discovered the power of agility, balance, and coordination, the essential ingredients for athletic excellence. The coaches also explored the importance of strength and conditioning, understanding that a strong body is the foundation of a successful athlete.
The workshop concluded with Ndala and Banda receiving certificates as certified coaches for physical literacy for under 10s. Equipped with their newly acquired knowledge, our coaches have returned to the court, eager to motivate and guide our young athletes. We are proud to say that our coaches are more than just instructors as they are mentors who are shaping the lives of our athletes both on and off the court.
