The pursuit of excellence continues

excellence is
a continual
commitment
that strives to
improve every
one of us.
Without
pursuing
excellence, our
lives would
remain bland.
The desire
to succeed and
the will to
advance in life
evoke the
best in us.
Excellence is
an art which
can be
achieved through nurturing our minds with great
thoughts and positive attitude. It’s that time of the year

and mentor Frans Matlhokga. After a heart to heart
chat with him he couldn’t hide his delight. He went
further to applaud his players for their illustrious heroics and voracious character. He also revealed that the
prime concern is to qualify for the USSA Championships. Wishing him and the team the best of luck in
their upcoming games.
Now shifting focus to the World Cup that has lacked
nothing short fireworks and excitement. Already
dubbed as a ‘shock’ world cup, the world cup in Brazil
has seen the rise of the minnows and the demise of the
heavyweights such as England, Italy and Spain. Above
all, no one saw Spain’s downfall coming. All of us knew
that it was inevitable but not one could have anticipated
that it would happen this soon. Their failure to reach
the knockout stages has led to widespread criticism
from pundits in some parts of the world as they maintain that Spain’s golden era of dominance in world football has come to an abrupt end. Meanwhile, one team
that has caught my attention is the netherlands. They
are serious title contenders. One could envisage that
their victory is written in the stars. They are champions
in waiting. Watch the space!!!
