Living the dream or Working with the stars...you choose!

My first day back in 2007, I was walking towards the nets when I saw the legendary, Mr Herschelle Herman Gibbs. My body froze, thinking OMG! I pulled myself, towards myself and asked him for a photograph, he gladly came forward...and the rest my friends as they say is history!

Now in 2011, many people still ask me, "OMG how is it to work with them"? Them being the likes of Herschelle Gibbs, JP Duminy, Graeme Smith, Charl Langeveldt and many others. My response now, "Its normal, they normal", my response then (2007) "OMG its insane".

Working with both international and domestic cricketers is truly a dream come true. Its fun yet challenging but most of all, never a dull moment. Funny enough, these players have become my motivation, my inspiration to push further than what lies in front of you. To push the boundaries (no pun intended), and for that I am grateful!

The scariest part though (of which I keep on being reminded) and I quote The Devil Wears Prada, "Many girls would kill for your job", is that, this is true! To do what I do, you need to be strong, strong enough to own your territory but also to know that you are not irreplaceble! Being on guard, waiting to unleash your PHD (PULL-HER-DOWN) syndrome, is hard work LOL!
