  • Episode 298 - The Day I Stopped Making My Body the Goal

    What if the reason you're so focused on your body is because you haven't given yourself a goal big enough to focus on?

    In this episode, I talk about the power of having ambitious goals, why strength training builds far more than muscle and how confidence developed in the gym often spills into every other area of life. From netball performance to career progression, we'll explore why getting stronger can change far more than your body and why purpose might be the missing piece for so many women.

  • Episode 296 - The Voice In Your Head Matters More Than You Think

    The way you talk to yourself matters more than you think.

    In this episode of Advantage Net Strength, we're diving into self-talk and why the words you use to describe yourself can have a huge impact on your confidence, nutrition, performance, and overall wellbeing.

    From calling yourself "greedy" because you're hungry, to dismissing compliments and constantly focusing on your flaws, we'll explore how negative self-talk quietly shapes the way you see yourself.

    I'll share some powerful insights from the book How To Talk To Yourself by Ro Mitchell, discuss why you don't need to hate yourself to improve, and leave you with a simple challenge to help you become more aware of your inner dialogue.

    Because you deserve to be on your own team, not your own opposition.

  • Episode 294 - The Problem With How We View Female Athletes

    Women in their 40s are still running marathons, lifting weights, playing elite sport and getting stronger than ever…so why does society still act surprised when women stay ambitious?

    In this episode, I talk about the double standards around ageing in sport, why older female athletes are often viewed differently from men and how netball still struggles with how it markets female athletes and ambition.

    This isn’t just about sport. It’s about permission to keep taking up space.

  • Episode 292 - I Know What You Did Last Summer

    Most netballers don’t intentionally “quit training” over summer.

    They just slowly stop moving.

    A couple of weeks off becomes two months… and suddenly September arrives and they feel slow, heavy, unfit and miles behind.

    In this episode, I talk about why the off-season matters so much for netballers, especially as we get older, and exactly what I’m focusing on this summer to stay strong, fit, and ready for next season.

    We cover:

    • building an aerobic engine
    • strength training through summer
    • transitioning into speed work
    • nutrition and body composition
    • recovery, sleep, and core work
    • and why consistency beats extremes every time.

    Because the goal isn’t to survive pre-season.
    It’s to arrive ready for it.

  • 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.
