Wilson focused on lifting Road to MECCA VI title

By Timothy Jaikarran

The UG Trojans have had a successful 2018/2019 season, wherein they won at least 80 percent of their matches although they played against some of the top teams in Guyana.
With the current successes they have reaped, they will now focus their attention on the “Road to MECCA VI” as they aim to take their current form into the competition and continue their domination.
“Road to Mecca VI” is scheduled to commence in July, and the UG Trojans are currently pushing themselves past their limit, despite the weather, as they aim to make 2019 their most decorated year.
Speaking with Guyana Times Sport and being asked about the team’s preparation, Trojans Coach Warren Wilson said, “At the moment we are working on fine-tuning our offense. The guys are also working on their ace shots, so as to increase the team’s shooting percentage. I’ve come to realise that, over a period of time, our shooting was beginning to decline, so I have been working hard during practice with the team”, he said.
“Also, we are focusing more on working together as a unit; because the only way we can win is as a team, and not as individual talents,” he continued.
Wilson also noted that there has been drastic improvement in the team’s performance. He believes the team’s true test will come in competition.
He also indicated that, even as a coach, he also is in a growth phase; but he said he has learned from his mistakes to grow as a coach.
He added that, before heading into the competition, he would be keen on working on the management of the team during pressure situations, since he observed that at times it was responsible for the team losing vital games.
Wilson has said, “As the coach, (I have to say) the team is working at (its) best to lift the title and carry on our successful 2018/2019 season. We know it will not be easy, but the Trojans unit will not go down without a fight.”
