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.
