Packed with insights for coaches, players and fans alike, this episode proves that great netball is about far more than what happens on court - although there are also a few laughs about Scottish slang, Aussie coaching methods and Kath's self-confessed "allergy to resets!"

One day, you’ll see me living my other dream: starring in a soap opera.Carla GareyA self-confessed netball addict, I’ve been playing for nearly 14 years and basically live and breathe the sport (my husband insists on calling it “a hobby,” but we all know better 😆).When I’m not on court, I’m running multiple businesses, wrangling my five kids, and squeezing 20 tasks into every day. I work at 100 miles an hour and get more done before lunch than most people manage all week — fuelled entirely by Diet Coke and donuts.
