She further revealed that they review every season to examine the impact the seminar had on their performances and get rid of those that are not helpful.
“So at the end of each season we have a review meeting to assess how it has impacted the club. It would have to reflect in their performances, how they run their things and once they are able to do that and we know where we need to up the game with regards to further upgrading and what we need to scrap because eventfully it is not having the needed impact” She added.
