S03E39 Bigger, Better, Bolder: Changing the Future of Netball

Carla and Leanne welcome Baroness Sue Campbell, Chair of England Netball, for a fascinating conversation about the future of the sport. From her own journey as an England netball player to helping transform women's football, Sue shares her ambitions for growing the game, improving grassroots-to-elite pathways, investing in facilities and coaches, and building a sustainable Netball Super League.

With the 2031 Netball World Cup on the horizon, she explains why netball needs greater investment, visibility and ambition - while protecting the brilliant community at its heart. Plus, stay tuned for some lively netball opinions and a game that proves Carla might be better at asking the questions than answering them!

YOUR HOSTS

Carla

A 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.

Leanne
A netballer since the age of nine, I’ve somehow managed to arrange my entire life around a netball court! 
I still play regional netball, mostly at GD, coach at club and within the London Pulse pathway, run my own business helping netballers stay strong and somehow thought adding podcast host to the list was a sensible idea 😆. 
I’m married, a mum of two, partial to a ridiculous physical challenge and have very strong opinions on pretty much all things netball, including why women absolutely do not need to stop competing just because they’re getting older.
