Quality, A Focus For Life

As highlighted by Dr Bronwyn Dolling, quality is difficult to define but we all have an understanding of what it means. It is important to remember, quality does not mean being the ‘best’. Quality is about striving to do our best, acknowledging that we are all imperfect and the need to continually reaffirm our commitment to our goals. 

Quality doesn’t exist as an entity; it is the sum of inputs. For PLC Netball Club, our inputs are our players, coaches, managers, families and the Committee. We all have an opportunity to contribute to the quality of our club, teams and players and I would encourage you all to become involved. 

Quality is synergistic in nature, meaning that the outcome is greater than the sum of the individual parts. They say that, “A champion team will beat a team of champions”. I would like us to work collectively to develop a ‘champion club’ where every player has the opportunity to maximise their potential. I would like this to be our focus.

We need to maintain a lifestyle balance and playing netball needs to be enjoyable. In our goal to succeed, it is sometimes easy to lose this perspective. Collectively, let us enjoy the opportunity to watch our daughters develop and mature into the young women we all desire them to be. By being involved and setting the example, we will be developing the life skills and characteristics that they will carry through their lives. This is our outcome for life.

If we work together, strive to do our best, focus on our goals and have fun; the rewards will be significant. For those who wish to take a more active role in the club, opportunities still exist to join the committee, be a coach or team manager.
