He further charged coaches to uphold the values of the profession and urged them to be much aware of the huge task that confronts them. ” even though we are bound to compete against each other but we must be aware that individual players whose dreams of becoming stars in the future lies in our hands and coaches should know the process of building or creating a winning team must be the sole objectives of the coaches” Didi outlined.
