Duane_Bosch Posted September 2, 2021 Share IMO Greg Minnaar is the personification of BMT. Great champions can almost will something into happening. Greg is one of those great champions. When he retires he should become a motivational speaker. And he should start with our national cricket team.

NOTE: By saying Quota is part of the problem I am not inferring that PDI players are not good enough as this is a fallacy. The selection of players is a big problem and forcing a player o f colour into the team to meet quote requirements while not considering where that player is in terms of their form is part of the problem. The bigger issues are the feeder systems falling apart and just general Cricket SA managerial issues. SO you're right its not a motivational problem, thats just a symptom as a result of the viruses in the system One of the best attributes I can slap on Greg that is he a good advocate for demonstrating how much confidence in your equipment plays a role in results and the work ethic behind that delivers that confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnaar has been at or close to the top for about 20 years, so by that measure one can include Christiano Ronaldo, Sachin Tendulkar, Roger Federer, Tom Brady and Lebron James. I'm sure there are many more but those are just some of the sports I follow/am aware of. Duane_Bosch and BaGearA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically his utter dominance of windsurfing probably did the sport as a whole more harm than good. IMO He is the greatest waterman of all time. Mike Stewart, Slater, Kai Lenny, Laird Hamilton. All great but Robbie is the greatest. Jewbacca and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one who rides bikes could love the wind that much! quite the opposite, loads of sailors/wind people into cycling big time. so much that they started using carbon skills for offwater activities and it's actually a great combo. no wind, go ride bike. windy, go sail.
