Rhodes loss leads to a learning curve

Chris Totobela, acting coach of Rhodes University women’s 1st football team, said that last Sunday’s game against Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University – Rhodes lost 11 – 1 – was not a tough encounter, but rather a learning curve for his side.

Chris Totobela, acting coach of Rhodes University women’s 1st football team, said that last Sunday’s game against Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University – Rhodes lost 11 – 1 – was not a tough encounter, but rather a learning curve for his side.

Better known as coach and manager of the successful African Connection women’s side, Totobela is currently giving some much-needed help to the Rhodes team.

Totobela said that the match went well but that his players lost concentration at crucial times and got punished, with their opponents taking full advantage.

“The Rhodes team is still a work in progress as they are still trying to adapt in my way of doing things,” said Totobela.

“They are still trying to adjust to the playing style I’m teaching them."

He said that while the side is still learning, the results don't matter.

At the moment it is about the team understanding his techniques and his coaching style. Once this is done, he will then worry if the results don’t show any improvement.

The team has accepted the result and what's left for them is to go back to the drawing board and see where they went wrong.

“They fought very hard but made a lot of silly mistakes that cost them.”

He said that, fortunately, they were playing for USSA Eastern Cape football league and it’s still early days, they still have a chance to crawl their way up.

“Our beginning doesn’t define our finishing.”

Totobela certainly believes that he can put the team on top.
