Life Drills
Team Girls is dedicated to fostering and promoting girls’ participation in sport. It’s about girls supporting girls, building up their confidence, and knowing they’re stronger when they stand together – on and off the court.
The skills learnt on the netball court are with you for life. Coach Stacey Marinkovich shines a light on the life skills you don’t realise are learnt on the netball court, and draws a parallel between the skills learnt at practice and the way they can be used in real life.
Confidence
Coach Stacey Marinkovich talks about the importance of confidence on and off-the court.
Stacey Marinkovich: In netball, just like in life, the way we think and talk to ourselves matters.
If you keep telling yourself that you can’t do something, your mind starts to believe it, and that can shake your confidence.
Flip the script. Reframe the negative self-talk when it shows up and you’ll be amazed what your capable of.
Give it a go on and off the court and see how it makes you feel.
Resilience
Coach Stacey Marinkovich talks about how sport teaches resilience and how we are stronger together.
Stacey Marinkovich: Sport takes resilience, but it also teaches you resilience, and your never on the court alone.
Tackling a tough situation as a team is the best way to handle it.
When we get through things together, we’re stronger for it. See how you can use teamwork to build your resilience on and off the court.
