NETBALL 2023 Netball World Cup: She Cranes Fred Mugerwa to ignite World Cup fever
She Cranes head coach Fred Mugerwa has revealed that he will only get excited for the Vitality Netball World Cup 2023 when he touches down in Cape Town.
"We were able to learn how to play differently from the various teams that we played and, in turn, made me a better coach in the process,” Mugerwa told Pulse Sports.
"It's going to be a little tricky for the team as well as the coaching staff because it is going to be the first major international tournament for many of the players in the team, but that's the beauty of sports,” he noted.
Mugerwa added: "Yes, because I am going to take a team that is going to compete against the teams trained by the best players, which will improve the team and me as well, as they are a young and hungry squad.”
