As there is no ‘i’ in Team, there is also no ‘i’ in Leader and West Coast Fever are taking note of that as they implement an all-encompassing approach to leadership for the 2020 season.
For the third consecutive year, West Australian Courtney Bruce will serve as Club Captain, however Fever’s leadership structure has been reshaped to include an on-court leader in each section of the court - defence, mid-court and attack.
Heading up the defence section of the court is Courtney Bruce, with Verity Charles to lead the mid-court and Jhaniele Fowler the voice for the attacking end.
Fever’s on-court leaders will act as the custodians of the game plan. They will be responsible for carrying that game plan into match day and making decisions in the heat of battle that lead the team’s performance.
West Coast Fever Head Coach, Stacey Marinkovich touched on the importance of Fever’s move away from the traditional leadership approach.
“As a team and as a Club, we have a huge belief that holistic leadership across the entire playing group plays an instrumental role in being successful both on and off the court,” said Marinkovich.
“This approach really targets our on-court performance, as on-court success doesn’t land on any one person’s shoulders and it allows for the experience and leadership to come from players on the court that can really help drive the game plan during critical moments.”
The Club has placed significant emphasis on developing all ten players’ leadership skills as they are responsible for driving the club’s purpose, principles and standards in their day to day environment.
West Coast Fever full season memberships are still available and remain the most affordable way to witness all the action.
