Meet Ladies League Tag Coach Loretta Donovan
In 2017, along- side my partner John Thaiday, I began my first year of involvement with the Macksville Sea Eagles RLFC as the Reserve Grade Manager; the opportunity allowed me to apply my vision and knowledge of the game to young inspiring Men. As the first Women to be part of the Group 2 Coaching Staff, it has given me confidence and have inspired other women to follow. Not only to give to others but to learn from the players and coaches themselves.
The game of Rugby League is growing at the grass-roots level, and the talent we have in the Coffs Region, is fantastic. To observe and nurture our own players and mould them into amazing Athletes is a passion of mine; mentoring young women to better themselves, to supporting and creating a positive environment for these women in particular, is a goal I intend to achieve.
This position will allow me to pass on my knowledge of sportsmanship and be a role model for these young inspiring women for the future .
