Irene was a provincial hurdler in her younger days, so she was always atalentedathlete. It wasn't until she was 17 that she not selected in her schools second team. A scout noticed her and asked why she wasn't playing the the top team and asked her to go toprovincialtrials. She got in the team.
She then met Christie, her husband, who was veryfocusedand a talented athlete also. He would shoot hoops with her and work out drills. This helped Irenefocuson her goals.
Once the apartheid was lifted, she was selected in the national team. She was 22 when she first made her internationalappearance.
Then she moved to NewZelandin 2000.
Moral of the story is lots of hard work. As Irene says, "Believe in yourself because if you don't believe in yourself, no one else is going to believe in you."
