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.

Episode 334 - Netball and Menopause
Menopause doesn’t mean your best netball days are behind you. But understanding what’s changing and how to adapt, can make a difference.
In this episode, I explore what the research says about exercise, mood and quality of life through perimenopause and beyond, where netball fits in, and why strength training deserves a place alongside it.
We cover muscle and bone health, managing training around symptoms and recovery, and the value of teammates, connection and feeling supported. Plus, why you haven’t “failed menopause” if you exercise regularly and still have symptoms.
Practical advice, sensible expectations and no miracle menopause workouts.
