    Episode 274 - How Stress Effects Your Netball Performance

    Stress is something every adult netballer is dealing with, whether you realise it or not. In this episode, I talk about the real impact stress has on your performance, your recovery, your motivation and even your confidence on court. Because if you’re over 35, balancing work, family and sport, stress isn’t just part of life… it becomes part of your training load too. We dive into why exercise, particularly strength training, is one of the most powerful tools you have to regulate stress and improve performance. I also talk about the frustration many players feel when they’re doing “all the right things” but not seeing progress and why pushing harder isn’t always the answer. I share practical strategies you can use to elevate your state that don’t rely on food or smashing yourself in the gym — things like planning your week better, protecting your sleep, getting outside, and creating small daily wins. If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired or questioning your ability on court lately, this episode will help you zoom out and understand what might really be going on. Because managing stress is not a soft skill.It is a performance skill. And learning to support your system properly could be the very thing that helps you keep improving and keep playing the sport you love. for years to come.

    Episode 272 - Why Strength Training Matters More Than Ever for Netballers (Especially As We Get Older)

    Are you feeling more tired, more sore and carrying more niggles as the netball season goes on? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, I talk about why strength training becomes even more important for netballers as we get older and why waiting until the off-season to start might be one of the biggest mistakes you can make. We dive into the research around fatigue and injury risk at the end of the season, how accumulated load impacts your movement quality and recovery and why building strength is one of the most powerful ways to stay playing the sport you love for longer. I also explain why strength training isn’t just about performance. It supports bone health, confidence, resilience and long-term wellbeing for all women, not just athletes. If you want to feel stronger on court, reduce injury risk and build habits that set you up for a successful off-season and pre-season, this episode is for you. I also share more about the next round of Net Strength, starting Monday 23rd March. A holistic coaching programme designed specifically for adult netballers who want expert guidance, accountability and a supportive community that truly understands the game. Because this isn’t about surviving seasons.It’s about thriving in them. Follow me on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachedbyleanne and message me any questions about health, mindset or netball!
