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.

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.

International Women’s Day is everywhere this time of year, and with it comes a lot of campaigns, slogans and well-meaning messages. One that caught my attention this year was the theme “Give to Gain.”

But the more I thought about it, the more questions it raised.

Because when I hear that phrase, it sounds like women should give more in order to gain something back. And honestly, women already give a lot. Their time, energy, emotional labour and commitment in so many areas of life.

In this episode, I unpack the idea behind the “Give to Gain” campaign, why it doesn’t quite sit right with me and how this conversation shows up in the world of netball.

From grassroots clubs to performance environments, netball is a sport that has largely been built on the dedication of women: players, coaches, volunteers, organisers and leaders who keep the game going week after week.

So instead of asking women to give more, maybe the better question is this:

What would happen if we started investing in the women who have already given so much to the sport?

If you’re a netballer, coach or someone who cares about women staying in sport for longer, this episode will definitely get you thinking.

Tune in as I talk about equality, value, and why women shouldn’t have to prove their worth in order to deserve support.

Are you really “too old”… or have you just stopped training properly?

The recent Winter Olympics gave us something brilliant, women in their 40s and 50s not just competing, but medalling. Snowboarder Claudia Riegler at 52. Curler Silvana Tirinzoni at 46. Elana Meyers Taylor winning Olympic gold at 41. And they’re not anomalies, they’re evidence.

In this episode, we break down what these 40+ athletes are doing differently, why performance after 40 isn’t a cliff edge and what this means for you as a netballer who still wants to feel fast, strong and competitive.

We’ll cover:

• Why 40 is not an exit strategy

• What actually declines with age (and what doesn’t)

• The role of strength, power and recovery for longevity

• Why experience might now be your biggest competitive advantage

• A simple framework to help you keep playing the sport you love for years to come

If you’re 35+, still lacing up your trainers and refusing to quietly fade into “social only” mode… this one’s for you.

Because getting older isn’t the problem.
Under-training, under-fuelling and under-recovering is.

Let’s change the narrative.
