from Coached By Leanne Podcast · host Leanne Watson-Charles
Are you feeling more tired, more sore and carrying more niggles as the netball season goes on? You’re not imagining it.In this episode, I talk about why strength training becomes even more important for netballers as we get older and why waiting until the off-season to start might be one of the biggest mistakes you can make.We dive into the research around fatigue and injury risk at the end of the season, how accumulated load impacts your movement quality and recovery and why building strength is one of the most powerful ways to stay playing the sport you love for longer.I also explain why strength training isn’t just about performance. It supports bone health, confidence, resilience and long-term wellbeing for all women, not just athletes.If you want to feel stronger on court, reduce injury risk and build habits that set you up for a successful off-season and pre-season, this episode is for you.I also share more about the next round of Net Strength, starting Monday 23rd March. A holistic coaching programme designed specifically for adult netballers who want expert guidance, accountability and a supportive community that truly understands the game.Because this isn’t about surviving seasons.It’s about thriving in them.Follow me on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachedbyleanne and message me any questions about health, mindset or netball!For Net Strength, please go to www.coachedbyleanne.co.uk/net-strength
