Our great coach on this episode is Samantha Bird.
Sam is a Netball Coach. As a player she represented England but retired at 24 after a knee injury. She then carved out a long career as a lawyer working with the London Metropolitan Police. In 2005 the United Kingdon Netball Super League was formed and Sam started as an Assistant with the London Mavericks. She became the team head coach in 2014. In 2016 she was appointed as the head coach for the new franchise the Severn Stars. In 2019 she then became the Head Coach of the London Pulse leading them to the treble of the Super League title, Super Cup, and NPL tournament in 2025.
3 questions the interview with Sam challenged me with were:
•Is my organization the type of place where people know somebody will have their back if they are having a bad day?
•Am I engaging with me mentors enough to frame challenging questions of myself
•Am I calling out example of ambition and bravery enough?
