GENERATION OF
WOMEN COACHES:
RHODA MULAUDZI
The sight of Coach Agnes ‘Madala’ Nkosi on the touchline during the inaugural edition of the CAF Women’s Champions League last year is one of many examples of how Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club is harnessing the potential of women in the game across all fronts. Following in the footsteps of Madala, the likes of Andisiwe Mgcoyi and Rhoda Mulaudzi have begun the process of forging their managerial paths.
Mgcoyi who is an assistant to Coach Agnes (coach of the Mamelodi Sundowns women's under-20 team) spoke of the vision for her side, “I always feel so emotional when I see youngsters knocking the ball around with confidence. I hope that they keep their heads down and learn more about the game. I hope they eventually exceed my achievements because they are very talented and I am working hard to help them achieve their potential.”
Coach Simon Blangwe (Sundowns Academy Coach) who has worked with Andisiwe since 2014 believes the striker has all it takes to succeed, “Andisiwe’s vast experience of soccer has been immense. She has a great idea of the game and that has helped her to understand the basics of coaching. At a club like Sundowns, she will have the opportunity to hone her managerial skills.”
Thus far, Mulaudzi has embraced the responsibilities of her role in the dugout.
“Being a coach is not as easy as everyone thinks. There are so many aspects of the game that you have to pay close attention to. You need to understand the mindset of the players, as well as their mentality to buy into your philosophy. Being a coach also makes one understand the psychological aspects of the game because I am now able to understand the frustrations of a player when things are not going according to plan. Overall, by becoming a coach, I have gained a broader understanding of the game,” Rhoda stated.
