Why 83-year-old grandmother Helen Ryan brought Deb Knight to tears

0 37

We’re always hearing how self-centred society is, but there are so many selfless people who really do make the world go around. People like 83-year-old Helen Ryan

Ryan called in to my Afternoon with Deborah Knight radio show on Sydney’s 2GB, and she brought me to tears when she told me how proud she is of her netballers. 

Ryan has been coaching a team of 15-year-olds with the Randwick Rugby Netball Club. She took them on when they were at the bottom of the table in the lowest division, and no one gave them much of a chance. Until Ryan came along.

Listen to Helen Ryan tell her story to 2GB’s Deb Knight in the video above.

Ryan knows a thing or two about netball. She’s been a player, a coach, an umpire, an administrator, and during my own years playing netball there were always lots of women like Ryan.

They give so much of their time and themselves to help others, and you see them in sporting codes and community groups right across the country, which wouldn’t be able to function without people like Ryan. 

She put her heart and soul into helping the girls not only play better, but believe in themselves. And the girls helped Ryan out too.

OPINION: ‘Meghan simply doesn’t deserve this vitriol’

Ryan recently lost her much loved husband Normie, who she’d been a full-time carer for.

Normie had Parkinson’s disease, and Ryan retired 10 years ago to be by his side. She tried to maintain as normal a life as she could for the both of them, continuing her netball commitments as best she could.

Normie had to go into a nursing home in January, and he passed away five months later. They’d been married for 65 years. Ryan was lost without him. 

But the cellar dwellers from the Randwick Rugby Netball Club gave Ryan renewed purpose. They brought her as much happiness as she brought them.

And there was plenty of joy when, in just six months, under Ryan’s guidance, the girls went from dead last to reaching the grand final. It was the first time many of them had ever made it that far in a netball competition. Ryan was understandably over the moon. 

The grand final was a closely-fought match, with both teams going goal for goal. When the final whistle blew, Ryan’s girls only just missed out, going down by three goals.

Ryan thinks nerves played a part in the loss, but overall she says they were very happy. They may not have won their match, but making it to the grand final was a victory in itself. 

Ryan and her girls celebrated with team pizza, and grins from ear to ear. 

And we’re all winners for having wonderful people like Ryan in our lives.
