PETERITES END THEIR 2022 RUGBY SEASON IN STYLE – by Joe Paiva
I am very elated to hear the news of the triumphant Peterite Team.
The phoenix rises from the Ashes. Lazarus rises from his tomb.
However one swallow does not necessarily mean it is Spring followed by Summer.
The SPC victory, while joyous should be analysed in its entirety without fear or favour.
What did SPC learn?
Reality check.
Where to from here?
Continuous Improvement
How can SPC replicate that performance.
Sustainability
Was every single players contribution valued.
Coaching Staff.
Supporters.
Parent Community.
- Not to be the best at any cost
- Rather the best SPC can be.
- Enjoy the game as true sportsmen WIN, DRAW or LOSE.
Enjoy the journey rather than be totally focused on the destination. Trophies, Champion, Prize Money, Ego.
Let humanity be the judge.
In 5 to 10 years it would be a distant memory.
After all at the School boy level.
Rugby, Cricket, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis is not be all and all.
There is life after sport unless one is a professional.
In Sri Lanka sport alone does not put food on the table nor pay the relentless bills.
