Wolvaardt led the Proteas Women's team to the country's first-ever ICC Cricket World Cup final, where they fell short by 52 runs against hosts India women in Navi Mumbai this past Sunday.
However, the Proteas Women - coached by Mandla Mashimbyi - achieved record-breaking results at the showpiece event.
Behind their success, Wolvaardt highlighted support from South Africa as what gave them the strength to push the boundaries.
Wolvaardt added that having such a successful tournament helps inspire young girls and boys to pick up the sport of cricket, a feat that is of utmost importance in the country.
