The younger generations of girls face more negativity, drama, and self-esteem issues than we’ve ever seen before. This holds many young passionate netball athletes back who want to rise to their potential. It is difficult to thrive when negative thoughts in your own mind hold you down, you don’t love who you are, your worth is determined by things you can’t control, and you don’t have the resilience to deal with adversity. Because whether you like it or not, negativity, drama, and politics are hard to avoid entirely. So, we must take it upon ourselves to help create strong young women who are more than capable of becoming the best versions of themselves. When you are confident and happy, no amount of negativity can bring you down. Failure does not slow you down, instead helps propel you to grow. One girl at a time, the netball community will become more positive. But it starts with you and your daughter. It begins with the person in the mirror.
