Advantage Net Strength
Welcome to Advantage Net Strength, the podcast for netballers who want to get stronger, fitter, faster and harder to play against. Hosted by coach and netballer Leanne, this podcast helps everyday netballers improve performance through smarter strength training, conditioning, nutrition, mindset, recovery and injury resilience. Because playing netball isn’t the same as training for netball. So whether you play social league, club, regional or beyond… if you want the edge, you’re in the right place.
