Toronto , Canada —
What experiences makes a coach of an international sports team? Wikinews interviewed Tom Kyle, the coach of the Australia women's national wheelchair basketball team, known as the Gliders, in Toronto for the 2014 Women's World Wheelchair Basketball Championship.
((Wikinews))  Tell us about yourself. First of all, where were you born?
((WN))  So you took up basketball. When did you decide... did you play for the clubs?
((WN))   So you formed an ambition to be a coach at that time?
((WN)) } You still played cricket?
((WN))  I know what it's like.
((WN))  So you didn't get in to PE, so what did you do?
((WN))  You moved to Brisbane for the job?
((WN))  I know the ones.
((WN))  Yes.
((WN))  Yes.  
((WN))  Oh!
((WN))  A common thing.
((WN))   How does that happen?
((WN))  Who is now the [Gliders'] team manager.
((WN))  Yes!
((WN))  No.
((WN))  So you selected David as your assistant?
((WN))  They hadn't had a full-time coach before.
((WN))  But it wasn't a full time job.
((WN))  So that's a pretty detailed preparation.
((WN))  Thank you!
