DIE rugbylegende, Bakkies Botha, het op 6 Junie as gasspreker by die Grootfontein Landboukollege se borgefunksie in Middelburg opgetree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens hierdie geleentheid is Grootfontein se Pannar-rugbyspan, wat van 2 tot 6 Julie aan die SA Landboukolleges-toernooi in Cedara by Pietermaritzburg gaan deelneem, aangekondig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat Bakkies se vlugskedule verander het, het hy besluit om spesiaal Woensdagoggend 04:00 vanaf Gauteng na Middelburg te ry om betyds by die geleentheid te kan wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die studente, gaste en borge was voorwaar be\u00efndruk met sy toespraak en verskeie vrae \u2013 van sy bekende duikslae tot of Chuck Norris vir hom bang is \u2013 is gevra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens sy toespraak het hy onder meer klem gel\u00ea op die belangrikheid van borge, aangesien hulle drome skep vir spelers en deur hul bydrae \u2019n groot impak op die span ook het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook die spelers daarop attent gemaak dat mens nie afhanklik moet wees van produkte en verkeerde middels om jou groter en sterker te maak nie \u2013 daar is nie \u2019n kortpad tot sukses nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As \u2019n boerseun het Botha sy prioriteite reeds van vroeg af reggekry. Tot o.16 by die Ho\u00ebrskool Middelburg (Mpumalanga) het hy steeds vir die B- en C-span van sy skool uitge-draf en hy het eers in sy matriekjaar vir die eerste rugbyspan uitgedraf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die dag wat hy op sy matriekvakansie moes vertrek, het hy die oproep ontvang wat sy toe-koms drasties verander het. \u201cOm gekies te word om professionele rugby jou toekoms te maak, is nie vir elkeen beskore nie\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy wou nie hierdie geleentheid laat verbygaan nie en in plaas daarvan dat hy dus saam met sy vriende gaan kuier het op Margate, het hy \u2019n groot besluit geneem deur sy droom uit te leef en sy professionele rugbyloopbaan te begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJulle het \u2019n talent, gawe en geleenthede van God gekry. Die groot besluit is of jy dit gaan vat en of jy gaan dit los?\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJulle moet as span respek h\u00ea vir mekaar, gaan verdien jou respek as speler vir jou span op die veld. Speel so dat jou spanmaats vir jou respek sal h\u00ea en dat jy dit verdien. Gaan geniet die Kollegeweek. Jy weet nie of dit dalk jou laaste kans of wedstryd is nie, so gaan speel en geniet dit voluit,\u201d het Bakkies reguit met die spelers gesels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is drie dinge wat vir Bakkies baie belangrik is in rugby \u2013 hy noem dit sy \u201c3 D\u2019s\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy moet doelwitte en drome h\u00ea, maar saam met dit gaan dissipline!\u201d het hy ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die rugbyvoorsitter van die Grootfontein-rugbyklub, Niel Schoeman, het ook by hierdie geleentheid die einde van sy termyn aangekondig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schoeman is sedert 1999 reeds betrokke by Grootfontein-rugby, asook as president van die SA Landboukolleges-rugbyvereniging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 afloop van al die vrae, was die Pannarspan aangekondig en \u2019n wynveiling gehou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die afrigter vir Grootfontein-rugby is Alfred Tomana met Adriaan Stander (Bakkies) as die hulpafrigter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die spanbestuurder is Niel Schoeman, sekretaris Andries Pretorius en spanassistent is Darren Lemmer (Rooikat).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
