The Easter break
is over, not a single Easter egg passed my lips (honest!) and we have very
quickly returned to the gym and courts as our focus shifts back to foes. The
second half of the season provides a great opportunity for redemption as we
look to improve on some disappointing results from the rounds with a new level
of familiarity.
Super exciting
times this week as I embark on a partnership with Nissan, Mandurah which means
that I have the great fortune of receiving a brand new 4WD X-Trail!! I am
really looking forward to using the car to discover even more of WA. It seems
to me like some driving on the beach will be in order! More importantly though,
we will be partnering with netball associations across the Peel/Mandurah
region to deliver some netball and education sessions. Stay tuned for more
info!
Round 9 of Suncorp Super Netball has been designated as “Give for a
Goal” round. The official ’Give for a Goal’ campaign
launches on 22 April and runs until 28 May and the league are looking to raise awareness and money for the Confident
Girls Foundation.
I grew up in a very stable and supportive home, and the people that
know me can attest that I have never been short on confidence. The experiences
that I have had as a result of this and skills that I have developed through
being in a competitive netball environment from a young age I often take for
granted.
The Confident
Girls Foundation uses netball as a mechanism to help vulnerable Australian
girls transform into confident women. It provides opportunities and programs
for vulnerable girls to build not only their sport skills, but fundamental life
skills, including, teamwork, leadership, determination, and acceptance.
Suncorp will be
“giving for a goal” by donating $25 for every goal scored in Round 9. As a
defender I am sure you can understand the moral dilemma this creates… HOWEVER,
there are a variety of ways that you can get involved too. Look out for the purple
shoelaces that players will be wearing to support the Confident Girls Foundation
and the “Give for a Goal” fundraiser.
