from playing on the nutfarm to the netball court with australian diamond jo weston


Listen Later

Australian Diamond Jo Weston spent her childhood growing up on her family’s nut farm in regional Victoria. But it was a move to Melbourne where she found her love for the game of Netball and never looked back.

It’s been ten years since she first made her debut for the diamonds and in that time she’s helped lead them to gold at both the Netball World Cup and Commonwealth Games.

Off the court, Jo is President of the Australian Netball Players Association and played a major role in negotiating the New collective bargaining agreement that saw a new revenue-sharing model directly benefitting the players.

This week Chloe and Jo caught up in Melbourne as Weston gears up for her 12th Super netball season as a Melbourne Vixen.

They chat about professional life on and off the court and Jo's new book - Netball Besties which is set to hit the shelves on April 8. But you can preorder it here: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/jo-westons-netball-besties-1-the-mystery-of-missing-billie-9781761348525
