Former Silver Ferns Defender Storm Purvis joins the show to chat about her career to date, the transition from being a professional athlete to sports reporter, Netball in NZ & the ANZ Championship,
The only new face in the Silver Ferns squad is teenager Grace Nweke for the Cadbury series, which starts on Wednesday. Its been a fairly fast and frantic rise for the 18-year-old goal shoot. She was a goal-scoring prodigy throughout her time at Avondale College and has been a force with the Northern Mystics, finishing as the most prolific scorer in this season's domestic ANZ Championship. But Nweke barely knew what netball was when she was spotted at the Te Pai Park courts in Henderson five years ago. The woman who first identified her potential, the New Jaks club president Millie Manuel-Nathan, speaks to Corin Dann.
In episode 58 of The C-Word we chat with Pro Netball Player, Josie Janz-Dawson. A Torres Strait Islander who was born on Thursday Island, QLD. She grew up in Derby, West-Kimberley and when she was 15 years old she accepted a scholarship to attend boarding school at Presbyterian Ladies College in Perth. Josie played netball for the Western Australian underage representative teams, and after she graduated year 12 she received a two year netball scholarship at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. Josie then moved back to Perth where she played netball for the West Coast Fever team from 2008 to 2016 in the ANZ Championship, and just recently played netball in the United Kingdom Superleague for both the Severn Stars and Team Bath. Josie has been working at the Wirrpanda Foundation since 2009 in the Deadly Sista Girlz Program focusing on building positive role models in our communities. She says and we quote: “I believe we have a deep sense of responsibility to support the people in our community through mentorship and encourage our next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People to be positive and healthy role models.” This episode is sponsored by Giving Greens and Attentive Aesthetics.

Silver Ferns legend Casey Kopua is set to hang up her black dress once more - and this time it's for good.Kopua announced on Friday that she will call time on her 17-season netball career at the end of this year's ANZ Premiership season.And although a retirement in 2015 didn't stop the 33-year-old from making a shock return to both domestic and international netball, Kopua was adamant that this year was her last."I know I retired internationally before and at that time it was the right thing to do ... [but] I'm happy with the decision," Kopua said."This next six months is the biggest six months for me because after that, that's it. The only difference is this time it's for good. My mind is willing, but my body isn't."Keen to finish her career on a high, Kopua said her pending retirement from the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic wouldn't affect her commitment to playing in July's Netball World Cup but was yet to decide what the future held for her involvement in the sport."In my mind, unless I'm injured I'm going to be at that World Cup and I'll do anything I can during ANZ [Premiership] to put my hand up for that," she said."It's just about getting my engines better, getting stronger, faster and just trying to get that game time under my belt before the World Cup."I'd like to take my time, don't go straight back into netball, just enjoy the family time as well and then figure out after that which path or options we might take."Kopua has only ever played for the Magic, joining the team as a teenager in 2003. She has been the rock of the team's defence since, becoming one of the sport's top defenders.With Magic, Kopua won two National Bank Cup titles, an ANZ Championship title and two ANZ Championship New Zealand conference titles.Magic head coach Amigene Metcalfe, who has known Kopua as a team-mate and as a player under her charge, described Kopua as the embodiment of the Magic culture and ethos."Casey is certainly synonymous with Magic Netball and it's with great pride I've been able to watch her growth as a team-mate, coach and friend," Metcalfe said."From early on it was obvious to see her potential but what she has given to netball in the region, nationally and internationally has been huge. She is a true competitor, a loyal team member and I'm sure she'll be determined to make this year her best one yet."Netball Waikato Bay of Plenty Chief Executive Rohan West also paid tribute to Kopua."Casey is Magic and Magic is Casey. She's a living legend. It's as simple as that. The history and legacy of this team wouldn't be what it is without her. It's been an absolute pleasure working with her," he said."The phrase Mana Wahine could have been coined for Casey. I strongly urge all Magic supporters, and general sports fans, to come to our home games this season to see Casey in action one last time. I'm not sure we'll see the likes of her again for many years, if ever."

THE ART OF HIGH PERFORMANCE If you’ve ever been involved in Australian netball or any female sport in South Australia, then you’ll be no stranger to this week’s guest, the relentless Jane Woodlands-Thompson. Jane is the only dual premiership coach (now former) in the history of the ANZ Championship netball competition, has studied High Performance with the Australian Sports Commission and is the current Head of High Performance at Westminster School. Jane’s specific essay question was: “After more than ten years dealing with the most elite netballers, in arguably the best netballing nation in the world; a scholarship to study High Performance at the Sports Commission; and now, Head of High Performance at Westminster School, you have lived High Performance at all ends of the spectrum. What is your definition of a High Performer? And are they brought about by Nature or Nurture?” Jane I spoke of her own experiences with family, her current role and the necessity for improved planning. We discussed stories of failure, recovery and triumph among her years with the Adelaide Thunderbirds. And best of all, I was given a straight to point, narrow view of what it takes to be a high performer – zero frills, just the way we like it. Enjoy the show.
