  • Episode 258 - Move With Intent (On Court, In The Gym, In Your Week, In Your Life)

    You don’t have to be the fastest netballer on court… but you DO need to move with intent.

    In this episode, I’m talking about why intention is the difference between “just showing up” and actually improving — in your netball, your gym sessions, your running, and your life.

    We cover how to drive with purpose, clear with purpose, lift with purpose (because 10 easy reps won’t change anything 🙃) and why netball fitness can’t be built with slow Sunday jog energy.

    I also dive into how to go into each week with intent and a plan, so you stop drifting and start building real momentum.


    Hope you enjoy.

  • Episode 256 - Why You’re Still Tired

    If being tired was only about sleep, caffeine or food, most of us would have solved it by now.

    In this episode, I dig into the less obvious, research-backed reasons you might still feel exhausted even when your sleep and nutrition are pretty solid.

    We talk about:

    • Mental fatigue and decision overload

    • Emotional exhaustion and the cost of constantly caring

    • Why lack of purpose can drain your energy faster than a bad night’s sleep

    • How chronic stress and nervous system overload affect recovery and performance

    I also explain why this hits netballers particularly hard, and share practical, realistic actions you can take.

    If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I still tired when I’m doing the right things?” this episode is for you.


    Hope you enjoy.

  • Episode 252 - Parkour x Netball Featuring Parkour Coach Georgia

    As a guest on Georgia's podcast earlier this week, she kindly shared the recording so I can share with you guys too! The similarities between netball and parkour also surprises us, but we agree how to stay in our respective sports, strength training needs to be part of that journey to longevity.

  • Episode 250 - Want Gym Consistency in 2026? Here's How!

    We all say we want to be consistent in the gym…but most people are chasing perfection instead of progress.

    In this episode, I break down why consistency isn’t about endless motivation or iron-will discipline and why netballers already understand this better than they think.

    If you can show up for netball every week, you can show up for the gym, you just need to give it the same structure and respect.

    This episode is for netballers who are done with starting over and ready to build habits that actually last.

    Hope you enjoy this episode
