Being a former Matie himself, Maurice Fisher jumped at the opportunity to become the head coach at Maties Athletics.

Fisher studied Sport Science at the Stellenbosch University. Until recently he coached at Paarl Gymnasium and Paarl Athletics Club.

According to Fisher he did not think twice when the prospect of coaching at Maties Athletics came up. 

“Stellenbosch University is known around the world for its rich tradition and high performance in sport and academics. With the leadership at Maties Sport, the calibre athletes and infrastructure it is really a dream come true to be head coach at Maties Athletics,” said Fisher.

Like every new position Fisher knows that this dream job does not come without its challenges. 

“Every big and important task comes with challenges and I welcome it with enthusiasm. It will be a challenge to get student-athletes performing at the very top and at the same time get depth in all the disciplines, especially the less popular ones. I will use all assets at my disposal. All parties involved will also have to work together to cultivate an environment of excellence… only then will we achieve the results we want,” Fisher added.
