Nothing new I guess........seen it happen b4 first hand similar to this..hehe Netball Cook Islands:... I am writing not only to Netball Cook Islands, but also to inform all those who love and support Netball and the talent we have as a nation of the politics and fowl play involved in this so called “professional sports team”. The treatment my sister Tatiana Hirovanaa has received from management and coaching level is beyond unprofessional, and quite frankly absolutely appalling and infantile. Without reason my sister has been dropped for the Cook Islands netball team a day before the tournament. This frustration I am expressing is not from a disgruntled family member who is upset with a bias opinion of Tatiana’s placement in the team, this is plead for valid answers and justice for a sportswomen who has been the fittest in the team by far (proven in actual Cook training records) and one of the few players who have played netball at the highest rep level for her age group in New Zealand, captaining top sides and playing at rep level since 10 or so years old , unlike many of the players who remain in the squad. If we as the Cook Islands want to exceed and excel, getting our name out there in the world in our sports, we need to think hard about the choices we make and the self-glorification and selfish ambition that plays a role in the selection of many of our sports teams (in this case NETBALL). The manager of the team has chosen her two daughters and other players who have never played at rep level before, yet have been chosen over an experienced, passionate player who has the greatest respect for the game having worked years in training and conditioning her mind and body for such an honour as playing for her country. No politics in Raro you say? Well did I leave out the fact that NO my sister is not a local by residence but only by heart, whom I’m sure will never feel the love she had for Cook Islands Netball (along with others who will hear this story) and never feel excepted as an outside Cook Islander again. There is no trust in this team…can we trust in our own people to put our best foot forward or shall we continue to let the larger (no more talented) Islands continue to beat us at a game we can win? Netball Cook Islands you have A LOT to answer for!!! Your management is extremely unprofessional and just plain embarrassing. I have watched my sister push her body to the limits training each day and night, eating extremely well and being a supportive team member, so you explain to me how she does not fit the requirements for this squad? Tell me someone in the squad who is in a better physical state than her? Tell me how non rep players are suddenly more skilled and mentally more mature than Tatiana? For those reading this, know that there are disgusting acts of treatment behind closed doors and behind a computer screen that has been received by Tatiana that will come out into the open, as we as a family believe need to be revealed in order to move forward in both our situation and also for the health and future of our local Netball. You may delete this post, but please be aware the News Paper will be notified.....
