Karen Brown, of \u201cCoach Brown\u201d, soos sy onder skoolkinders bekendstaan, het in die afgelope skoolvakansie \u2019n mylpaal bereik toe sy die eerste vroueafrigter van Atlantis-skole geword het en vir die Wes-Kaapse landloopspan vir meisies, wat op 30 September in Limpopo plaasgevind het, aangestel is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sover vasgestel is, is dit die eerste keer dat Atlantis-skole \u2019n vroue-landloop-afrigter uit die dorp oplewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Brown was die kampioenskapsbyeenkoms in Limpopo baie straf vir die atlete omdat hulle net twee dae gehad het om by die toestande aan te pas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnder die omstandighede het ons span goed vertoon en een nasionale kampioen in die o.13-afdeling vir meisies opgelewer, met \u2019n goue medalje, twee silwer- en een bronsmedalje, waarop ons trots,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brown het in 2011 met atletiekafrigting by Avondale Prim\u00ear begin en haar harde werk van die laaste 12 jaar het gewis tot haar sukses bygedra, aangesien sy in di\u00e9 tydperk twee kampioene \u2013 een provinsiaal en een nasionaal \u2013 opgelewer het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As onervare jongmens met geen ondervinding nie het sy in 2011 as afrigter nie geweet wat op haar wag nie, maar haar liefde vir atletiek was haar groot dryfveer en dit het haar aangespoor om as afrigter goed te vaar, het Brown aan Weskus Nuus<\/i> verduidelik. \u201cAan die begin was dit moeilik, want ek het geen ervaring gehad nie en ek moes eers my voete vind om saam met die atlete te werk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brown het egter later by Grosvenor Prim\u00ear aangesluit en kennis gemaak met die voormalige Boland-hoogspringkampioen Daniel Orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ondersteuning wat ek van Daniel, wat \u2019n gesoute afrigter is, ontvang het, was baie waardevol vir my, en sy inspirasie en motivering het baie tot my atlete se prestasies bygedra.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar span het by die afgelope nasionale kampioenskap in Limpopo \u2019n nasionale kampioen opgelewer, en Brown voel baie opgewonde daaroor. \u201cOm saam met die provinsie se topatlete te werk, is \u2019n droom vir enige afrigter, omdat hierdie atlete reeds goed gekondisioneer en geslyp is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Brown speel \u2019n positiewe gees in \u2019n positiewe liggaam \u2019n groot rol by enige atleet se prestasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Afrigter moet te alle tye sy atleet se belange eerste stel en ook \u2019n goeie verhouding met \u2019n atleet en sy ouers handhaaf en gefokus bly op sy einddoel, en dit is om \u2019n atleet te ontwikkel sodat hy of sy op \u2019n ho\u00eb vlak goed kan meeding om te presteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWie weet, hierdie atlete volg dalk net eendag in die voetspore van \u2019n Wayde van Niekerk of ander top- Suid-Afrikaanse atlete,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
