Wayne Goldsmith

Goldie, as he seems to be fondly known by some of his Australian counterparts has been visiting us at the University Of Pretoria and the High Performance Centre.
 
What an awesome conference we had. It amazes me at his real world sporting knowledge that he has in the field of sport and applied sports science. Over the last few days I have been fortunate enough to interact with him, listen, question, listen, observe and listen how he advises the various coaches and administrators with real world experience. It has been really inspirational for me!
 
The main thing that stands out for me is that it all starts with me and try, try and keep trying by keeping the basics in place.
 
So thanks to TuksSport & HPC for bringing him over.
