The Kangaroos finally win a game after a seven game losing
streak. They have not won against the Cats since 2007. This win gave the team a
new sense of self-belief that they are in fact a good team. When the coach was
asked if this was his best win, he simply replied, “It was good as any game”.
This sense of humbleness is inspiring in sports. In America it is likely that
coaches brag about their winnings and so forth, however, Brad Scott (Kangaroo
coach) seemed to be happy and thankful and believed that this will be the start
of a new chapter for his team. The main thing is that he believes in them and
never gave up. I think these are main characteristics of what a coach should
be. The players as well were very enthusiastic about their fellow teammates
performances, pointing out how the young players have gained a lot of
self-confidence through this win. Hopefully we will see more good things and
more wins from the AFL Kangaroos!
