Creating the depth of leadership in the squad, winning when it matters the most and shouldering anticipation are all topics which are high on the agenda of the Vitality Roses’ head coach Jess Thirlby.
Thirlby took some time to talk to Sky Sports and has been excited and energised with the challenge that lies ahead.
The head trainer used her opening camp to begin to share her vision with her gamers but was intensely conscious that she wants this vision to grow with her playing group.
“Winning when it matters the most is that the next bit for me. I think you could win the game in between major tournaments but ultimately you’ve got an England group that are more determined than ever to maintain enjoying success.
“We all know in sport, once you win everybody expects you to keep on winning. Everybody is up for this challenge.”
The global has spoken about the struggle of starting a new four-year cycle at the shadow of this past, since being announced in the function.
“Yes we need to identify with the successes of the Roses and celebrate them but we all need to make our right to possess similar or more achievement,” Thirlby mentioned.
“We can’t just lean on that, inherit this and expect it to just continue. The expectation is all on our shoulders that’s the terrific thing about sport.
“Everyone expects England now to have the ability to topple over the Aussies, South Africans, Jamaicans and Kiwis at a certain point because we have now demonstrated that we can do it. It’s about doing this.
“That’s a massive challenge for any sports club, getting to the top is 1 thing but then staying there is another. This challenge and I embracing. I have learnt in myself that I really don’t enjoy anything easy. I have most probably walked to the job at a great time according to this!”
The very first stop for 15 of the players that are Roses and for Thirlby is a trip to Australia and also New Zealand. There they will play and train [behind closed doors] against the development team of Australia in Canberra, before either side travel across to Auckland to confront the New Zealand A side.
The head coach will likely be joined by former England player Sonia Mkoloma who will function as her assistant trainer and Thirlby be eager to see a continued development of a place that was a focus during camp – leadership.
“For me it’s absolutely paramount that this group do not rely upon the mature players and that we begin to build leaders in each these guys. Yes it comes more naturally than other people and we know that leadership comes in many types,” the head coach noted.
After their excursion to the Southern Hemisphere, a trip to South Africa will be on the cards at the latter part of November before the turn of this year sees the coming of this Vitality Netball Nations Cup.
New Zealand jamaica and the SPAR Proteas will arrive in mid-January in England and will aim to complete the four weeks of competition.
When it concerns the head trainer’s style right now, as the players choose their first steps and assault this busy schedule with gusto, what can they expect?
“I think very much about being authentic – that I can not be anything besides that. So what these players will notice is what they will get, I put on my heart on my sleeve.
“I’m 100 per cent committed and will give my all to this group and will try and assist them to be the ideal player they can be wherever that takes them then fantastic.”
Sky Sports is the house of netball and it returns to your displays beginning with the British Championships on Saturday while the Roses return to action under Thirlby when they tour South Africa in November.
