Wellington, NZ - Jerome Haretuku appointed New Zealand Junior White Sox – Strength & Conditioning, Trainer/Outfield Coach
Former New Zealand Black Sox outfielder Jerome Haretuku has been appointed New Zealand Junior White Sox Strength and Conditioning, Trainer/Outfield Coach.
Although Haretuku has no significant coaching experience Junior White Sox Head Coach Venita Hokai believes Jerome will lead by example and set a training environment that encourages athletes to excel.
"I believe that in order to compete at the highest level, we must provide young athletes with the knowledge, resources and the tools to further develop their potential into future world class athletes", says Haretuku.
"We are excited to have someone of Jerome's experience and capability within our coaching team. We are always looking for new ways and means to evolve our girls, and he will help do that", says Hokai.
"Providing athletes with the basic principles of strength and conditioning specific to softball will ensure the players have a good understanding of mobility/flexibility, strength, power, quickness and speed. The outfield is often overlooked by coaches, I see it as my role to ensure athletes are mentally prepared for international play", says Haretuku.
Townley named Emerging Sox Boys Manager
Ramblers Women's Team Manager Debbie Townley will support Head Coach Kurtis Tomkins as Manager of the Emerging Sox Boys Team. The Emerging Sox Boys Team will compete at the Friendship games in Sydney, Australia this July. Townley has many years in the game through various roles and will bring wealth of experience to the under 17 programme.
Cheers, Glen
