Patience and determination are requisites after asking Desiree Ellis to survey her achievements as head coach of South Africa women's side. The 59-year-old former national team skipper will answer with tributes to an array of mentors, her predecessor Vera Pauw, other coaches as well as members of her support staff.
Pose again and then it will be talk of the team and the players who she has steered to successive semi-finals at the Cup of Nations and consecutive appearances at the World Cup.
