Getting real with industry professionals: Netball

Our teaching staff collaborated to organise an opportunity for a student to connect with an industry professional in a career path they are interested in - professional netball.

Maddy Turner, NSW Swifts defender and Australian Diamonds spoke with our student, Clarissa, about her ambitions to pursue professional sport as a career path.

Ms. Turner spoke about her career path in professional netball, how she also studied speech pathology post-school, her training and nutrition regime and gave our student a clear indication of what working in professional sport entails. She suggested that Clarissa begin creating training videos of herself, create a netball resume of accomplishments, and apply to netball academies.

She also mentioned the many roles that support players and the game as a whole, such as training staff, event management, marketing and communications, regulatory compliance, and equipment specialists that all have an impact on the game.
