“Sometimes you get the impression that the players who have the potentials don’t actually push themselves to reach that potential. It’s about you as an individual pushing yourself and the coaches too.

“The coaches really need to step up. I’ve seen a lot about the coaches and I think the coaches too can do better than they are doing. So hopefully this will be a stepping stone to a greater height.”
