Energetic All-Games MollyTakes Her Sport to Another Level
She has represented these islands in fivedifferent sports disciplines, continues to play many more andnow Molly Ann Moore is in Jamaica taking up studies to serve thisnation as a netball coach.
Before Molly left Sunday night to enrolat the G.C. Foster College Monday, 20 August, she told CaymanNet News that although netball is her pet sport and her trainingwill be for primarily coaching people in this area she intendsto help out in other diciplines upon her return.
That is the spirit of this woman who neverrests.
Molly represented Cayman Islands abroadin basketball, cricket, softball, volleyball, and of course netballin which discipline she even captained the national side.
There is a national softball squad preparingfor an upcoming tournament in the United States and despite beinghappy about taking up coaching classes in Jamaica, she looks enviouslyat those players.
"If I was going to be in Cayman Islands,I would have been preparing for that softball tournament,"said Molly who has been active in sports since primary school.
This 5 feet 7 inches energetic woman ofthe mid-thirties will now have to give up much of her outdooractivities for two years of classroom to obtain a certificatein physical and sport education. True to her forever-achievingoutlook, however, Molly is looking towards going on at this well-knownsports Caribbean college to the four-year degree programme whichshe believes will make her even more useful to this country'ssports people and hopefuls.
In spite of the classroom regime Molly willnot be totally away from outdoor games as she naturally plansentering sporting events offered by the college. One of theseis an annual Venus Netball Tournament. A Caymanian team usuallygoes to Jamaica for that competition and Molly aims to join thesquad.
Molly is full of praise for assistance andguidance given to her by Jean Tierre and Lucille Seymour, withoutwhom she doesn't think her achievements could be what they aretoday.
"I owe them a whole lot. If it wasn'tfor the netball association and these ladies I wouldn't have gotto where I am today," she said.
Many Caymanians have attended the G.C. FosterCollege before and on her signing up Monday Molly was expectedto be joined by another local sports person, Anthony Chin.
At the college now and into her third yearalso is Caymanian Amanda Thompson.
