To help athletes better understand the selection process for Origin Energy Premier League and NSW Performance Pathway programs, Netball NSW recently hosted a series of athlete support and information sessions.
Athletes were provided with tips on how to have honest and open conversations with coaches, and were guided on what questions to ask to help make the best decision.
One of the outcomes of the sessions was the generous sharing of experiences amongst athletes. On court, athletes are often in competition, yet given the chance, they were quick to help each other.
Following from these sessions, Netball NSW has committed to establish an athlete’s advisory group to champion the voice of athletes and positively impact the Performance and Pathways environment.
The advisory group will provide athletes with an opportunity to discuss their ideas with each other and create a communication pathway to administrators and coaches.
If you are aged 16 and over and interested in joining the advisory group or require information on Origin Energy Premier League or Performance Trials, please contact pathways@netballnsw.com.
