On the latest Off The Court podcast, Tamsin Greenway is joined by an all South African crew, including new Proteas head coach Jenny van Dyk.
Greenway also chats to Manchester Thunder's Shadine van der Merwe and Loughborough Lightning's Nicola Smith after Thunder's win in their top-of-the-table clash in the Netball Super League on Saturday.
In terms of Van Dyk's hopes upon her appointment by Netball South Africa, the new head coach told the podcast: "Nothing is impossible and we'll always go, in any competition, for the win.
"I would like us to be in a position where we are always competitive... and I wand people to say they want to play South Africa because they've got their own style, they're bringing something different."
Van Dyk replaces Australian Norma Plummer in the role, who stepped down from her role in December. Plummer had taken the Proteas to a sixth-place finish at last year's Netball World Cup hosted in Cape Town.
Van Dyk added on her predecessor: 'She's played such an important role in how I came building my new programme with the Proteas... it's so nice to know that I have an open door towards her."
