This is a post!- Taha Whānau

A what?

A post about the Silver Ferns Development Team!! Check us out!!

Tonight we had our first netball game with our team Silver Ferns development team.
The skill sets among st our whānau is dynamic. The way each player moves around the court was spectacular to watch. Each warrior had some fantastic movements on court, the way Tarns darted around the court to the way Karanama could fly from one end of the court to the other in the blink of an eye. Chaka and I missing all shots right under the goal post was a sight to behold. Taylah and her māmā playing to their hearts content. What more can I say but this journey had ignited the fun of getting fit!!

Te Utanga Tutahi

Te Utanga Tautuhi

This weekend we had the honor of listening  and watching Te Utanga Tautuhi talk about his whare Te Ngākau o te Toka.

Te Utanga talked us through many aspects of their processes and tikanga that left me feeling intrigued of wanting to learn more about our art.

When we went onto the marae atea I was totally mezmerized throughout his wero display. He had every little movement perfected. Every little turn of his taiaha was purposeful. Every step he took was done with precision. He embodied every movement with poise. I was in total awe of his display.

Te Utanga's display has made me think about my understanding of our whare and how much I do know and how much I don't know. I have so much to learn.
Watching him has inspired me to take time to perfect my own practice when I pick up the rākau.
