My cricket journey started at the Tallinn Art School, when the representatives of the Estonian Cricket Association came to introduce the sport. At first, everything seemed very scary, because the rules and methodology are very different from all known sports. In hindsight, I think it was the novelty of cricket that fascinated me with the sport. I joined the Tallinn Cricket Club at the age of 14.<\/p>\n

I quickly found out, with a seemingly difficult sports at first, that I enjoy and see myself playing criket. This is where the \u2019\u2019snowball effect\u2019\u2019 started rolling rapidly. I stood out with my skills to the representatives of the Estonian Cricket Association and was appointed captain of Estonian Womens team, and I had the opportunity to travel with the team to Italy, the Netherlands and Finland. The Estonian Womens team was praised by the officials and other trainers in the tournaments, because we stood out with our endurance, great team spirit and consistency.<\/p>\n

While training myself, I also started training juniors. In 2013, the Estonian Cricket Association started again with the school programm where it initially started for me. The aim of which was to introduce schoolchildren to a world-famous sport that is widely known in the world but unknown in Estonia. As part of the school program, cricket trainings took place during physical education classes for 16 weeks in 4 different schools. Tallinn English College, Pelgulinna Gymnasium, Tallinn International school and 21st Secondary School joined the program. At the end of the program, a tournament was held at Tallinn Hipodroom.<\/p>\n

Cricket has shown me many different cultures and opened many doors to new opportunities. My career as a coach started with youth training. Through cricket, I have found people in my circle of acquaintances who inspire me on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Minu kriketi teekond sai alguse Tallinna Kunstikoolist, kui kriketiliidu esindajad tulid kehalise kasvatuse tundi spordiala tutvustama. Esialgu tundus k\u00f5ik v\u00e4ga hirmu\u00e4ratav, sest reeglid ja metoodika on k\u00f5ikidest tuntud spordialadest v\u00e4ga erinevad. Tagantj\u00e4rgi m\u00f5eldes, arvan, et just kriketi uudsus oli see, mis mind spordialaga paelus. Liitusin Tallinna kriketiklubiga 14 aastasena.<\/p>\n

Sain, esialgu tunduva raske spordialaga \u00fcpris, kiirelt selgeks ning sealt hakkas \u2019\u2019lumepall\u2019\u2019 kiiresti veerema. Paistsin enda oskustega ka kriketi liidu esindajatele silma ning mind m\u00e4\u00e4rati Eesti naiskonna kapteniks ja mul avanes v\u00f5imalus reisida naiskonnaga Itaaliasse, Hollandisse ja Soome. Turniiridel kiideti ikka Eesti Naiskonda, kuna paistsime silma enda vastupidavuse, suure meeskonnavaimuga ja j\u00e4rjepidevusega.<\/p>\n

Treenides ennast hakkasin paralleelselt tegelema ka noorte treenimisega. Eesti kriketi liit alustas 2013 aastal taas kooliprogrammiga, mille eesm\u00e4rgiks oli tutvustada koolinoortele \u00fclemaailmselt tuntud, kuid Eestis tahaplaanile j\u00e4\u00e4vat spordiala. Kooliprogrammi raames toimusid kriketi trennid kehalise kasvatuse tundide ajal 16 n\u00e4dala jooksul 4 erinevas koolis. Kooliprogrammiga liitusid Tallinna Inglise Kolled\u017e, Pelgulinna g\u00fcmnaasium, Tallinn International school ja 21. Keskkool. Programmi l\u00f5pus toimusid Tallinna Hipodroomil suurejoonelised v\u00f5istlused.<\/p>\n

Kriket on mulle n\u00e4idanud mitmeid erinevaid kultuure ja avanud mitmeid uksi uutele v\u00f5imalustele. Noorte treeningutest sai alguse minu karj\u00e4\u00e4r treenerina. L\u00e4bi kriketi olen leidnud endale tutvusringkonda inimesi, kes innustavad mind igap\u00e4evaselt.<\/p>\n
