Amelia and Katie, NetballSmart Development Officers at Netball Northern Zone, recently had the privilege of delivering two engaging workshops for the visiting Philippines National Netball Team.
On the first day, the focus was on the NetballSmart Warm-Up, introducing the team to the key principles and importance of proper preparation. The session explored the “why” behind warm-ups and how strong fundamental movement skills can support performance while reducing injury risk.
The following day shifted to a Smart Player session, diving into key areas off the court. Discussions included the importance of nutrition, sleep, and recovery, as well as strategies for finding balance in life while striving to be the best athlete possible. The workshop featured fun activities and practical tips the players could take away and apply in their daily routines.
The team’s energy and enthusiasm were refreshing, and it was a pleasure to work with such passionate athletes. We wish them every success in their netball journey!
