Review
A valuable resource for any coach wishing to learn more about the art of coaching netball.
Jill McIntosh
Former Australian coach, 1995 to 2003
A very informative resource.
Vicki Wilson
Former Australian captain
Current Firebirds National League coach
I played with Jane Woodlands for a number of years, developing an appreciation of her approach to the game. Jane is an extremely analytical thinker, and this book is a result of the way Jane views the game: with precision, great depth and analysis. We are starved of good coaching resources, and what Jane has produced will deliver coaches a complete understanding of all aspects of the game. This book is a must for any netball coach or player who is serious about his or her craft.
Kathryn Harby-Williams, former Australian captain, world champion, Commonwealth Games gold medalist
