Mashimbyi focusing on team culture

IN his early engagements with the team, Proteas Women's coach Mandla Mashimbyi highlighted how he wishes to help establish a culture that will make every player feel important in the team.

With various camps around the country, Mashimbyi has taken steps to achieve that goal. Recently, the coach hosted a team builder where he challenged the players to reflect on the unique profiles each of them brings to the team environment.

In a fun and insightful twist, Mashimbyi challenged them to take part in an opportunity to engage with one another to better understand each other's strengths, perspectives, and personal contributions to the team. Mashimbyi believes that culture forms an important part of the team, especially in a World Cup year as the Proteas Women prepare for the ODI World Cup in India and Sri Lanka later this year.
