These days, when people return from a particular sport, they take up coaching careers in the same – sometimes after undergoing coaching training. How well they perform as a coach is a different conversation entirely.
Well, Elton Jantjies stands as the latest example of this reality, having just secured a coaching spot after years of playing rugby as part of the South African national team, Springboks.
Elton has secured a coaching job at Rugga School, an academy that prides itself as a rugby training centre for those who want to play the game and excel in the same.
He joins the Rugga as a kicking and attacking coach. His new job comes as a relief of sorts and seemingly takes all the attention way from the disgrace of him having failed a drug test in the past and dropped in the slime of ignominy.
Anyway. he is keen to let his past be his past and focus on the new job at hand – training rugby hopefuls and seeing them excel in the game the love so much.
At least, the news of him getting the Rugga job has seen his fans celebrating him openly and wishing for other markers of success for him in the coming days.
