    Episode 290 - The Psychology of Not Giving Up

    After missing out on promotion into Division 3 Regional League for the third time, I wanted to have an honest conversation about failure, resilience, identity and what happens when sport doesn’t go your way. In this episode, I open up about the emotional side of playoffs, the fear of not being “good enough,” and why I still refuse to believe women over 35 have to fade into the background of sport. We talk resilience, sport psychology, controlling the controllables and why setbacks do not mean your story is over.

    Episode 288 - Why I Created Net Strength

    What if getting older isn’t the reason your netball feels harder? In this episode, I talk about why I created Net Strength and why I believe so many women are capable of playing better netball in their 30s, 40s and beyond, if they start training properly for the demands of the modern game. I share my own journey from playing netball since the age of 9, to only starting strength training in my 40s and now genuinely feeling like I play better than I did in my 20s and 30s. We dive into: why netball alone is no longer enough to prepare you for netballhow strength training improves performance and reduces injury riskthe real reasons so many women feel broken by the end of the seasonwhy Net Strength is about more than just gym workoutsbalancing netball alongside work, kids and real lifeand why I don’t believe your best netball has to be behind youThis episode is for every woman who still loves netball and wants to feel strong, capable and confident on court again.

    Episode 286 - Why You’re Always Tired as a Netballer (And What Actually Helps)

    Fatigue as a netballer isn’t always about fitness. Sometimes it’s under-fuelling, poor recovery or simply trying to do too much for too long. In this episode, I talk about the 3 biggest things that genuinely help fatigue in netballers, especially women balancing training, matches, work, family life and everything else that comes with being an adult athlete. We cover: why under-eating is wrecking your energyhow life stress impacts recovery and performancewhy strength training should help fatigue, not add to itsigns your body is asking for supportpractical ways to feel stronger, fitter and more energised on courtIf your legs feel heavy, your motivation is low or netball feels harder than it used to, this episode is for you. Because sometimes the answer isn’t “push harder.”It’s supporting your body better.

    Episode 284 - Summer Netball Camp

    I’ve just launched something I genuinely wish existed for myself… A 2-day summer netball camp for adult netballers. And before you think this might not be for youI’ve already been asked if 57 is too old.I’ve been asked if 44 is too old. You’re not too old. If you play netball, want to improve and actually understand the game better… this is for you. In this episode, I break down exactly what the camp involve. From strength & conditioning, skill development and tactical understanding, through to gameplay and in-match feedback. But more importantly, I explain why I’ve created it. Because playing netball once or twice a week isn’t the same as training for it.And most adult netballers never get the chance to focus on themselves, their movement, and their understanding of the game. This weekend is about changing that. It’s not a casual knock about.It’s not for people who don’t want feedback. It’s for netballers who want to get better, feel more confident on court and take something back to their club. If that’s you… you’ll want to listen.
