In this episode of The Property Nerds podcast, host Arjun Paliwal, founder of InvestorKit, speaks with professional netball player Paige Hadley about the realities of elite sport and her move into property investment.

Hadley explains that behind the perceived prestige of professional netball lies significant sacrifice, uncertainty, and relentless commitment.

Aware that an athletic career is finite, she began prioritising long-term financial security and life beyond the court.

Encouraged by wellbeing managers, she pursued further education and explored business opportunities.

Initially daunted by the complexities of investing, Hadley credits InvestorKit for providing the guidance and expertise needed to get started.

She applied the same analytical mindset used in sports, relying on data and a trusted team to make informed decisions, such as when investing outside NSW.

Hadley also encourages women to build financial literacy and recognise that investing is possible without a high income.

As she prepares for motherhood, she says investing in property has given her financial stability and the freedom to focus on family.
