EP3: Cristal Kemp and Monique McLeod - Navigating the netball parent-coach journey

We have two amazing wāhine from the Tairāwhiti netball community on this episode of The Sideline Yak -- Cristal Kemp and Monique McLeod.

Cristal and Mons both love netball! They have played the game, umpired the game and coached the game and have been coaching for many years developing their skillset through the netball community coaching pathway and currently both work for the Gisborne Netball Centre.

They are dedicated to their sport and advocate for youth to have a quality experience within all sport and are passionate about developing coaches to have the tools to achieve this.

Today Cristal and Mons share their sporting experiences growing up. We chat about coaching their own children, the balance of being a mother and a coach and their learnings. Both share their coaching philosophies and how it can guide them through the challenges of being a parent coach.

We also discuss the minimum game time within netball and how sport contributes so much more than just winning or losing. The passion and sincerity to develop our young people is clearly evident in Cristal and Mon’s talk today, their love for sport and creating positive experiences for young people is an asset to our local netball community.

If you are a parent looking to coach or already coaching then I’m sure you will find some gold nuggets in this episode today.
