A Guinness World Record Holder

-
From Friday 12am to Monday 6pm I had given up 40 hours of my time to support & celebrate England netball 90th Birthday. I united to do my part for Sport Relief and in the process hopefully help England netball achieve a Guinness World Record!
To celebrate the 90th anniversary of England Netball,  handful of staff & volunteers and 1,322 netballers participated in the ‘Largest Ever Netball Exhibition’ match which lasted for 90 hours at the play on sports centre in Whitechapel, London.
I had many roles over the weekend from Tournament witness, photographer, Umpire to scorer and much more. Despite the lack of sleep over the past 4 days, showing off my collection of onesie to the world whilst sing and dancing to some of  the 90s well known classics and eating pizza for breakfast, lunch & dinner; I would 100% do it all again as I  got to work with the most amazing staff at EN, who truly put in their heart and sole into this event.

Netball has been a huge part of my life for the last 15 years, So to be able to support this amazing event and be apart of the Guinness World Records whilst we raise loads of money for sport relief is truly a once in a life time experience. A memory for life.  Each team who entered the match contributed a donation to Sport Relief and the total raised is expected to exceed the £20,000 mark which is unbelievable.
A Massive shout out to the 52 netballers who turned up last minute to play netball between the hours of 2am -7am on Monday morning you guys truly rock! Netball just shows that it can help change lives. I'm Truly proud to work with England netball.
Yes for those that didn't know, We do hold a new Guinness world record. So to everyone that was involved well done you did it!
 England Netball is still encouraging those who are inspired to show their support by donating via its official Sport Relief giving page.
Sport Relief is back from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th March and there are more ways than ever for you to take part, change lives and feel proud. To find out more about Sport Relief or to enter visit Sportrelief.com.

It has been about 3 weeks since last posted about Uni training. Training is going really well we have had 6/7 sessions since returning from the Christmas holidays, If you had a chance to read my previous blog post you would have read that our last match did not go to plan and we sort of lost our team motivation. However I think the dream team is back in full action. We have really making sure that we have been pushing ourselves as individual and within the team to ensure we are really reaching are targets for our last upcoming matches.  Trainings have been intense but very productive we are really are using every single minute of the session to be try out new combos to see what works for us, correcting errors, increasing team fitness to better our performance on court but mainly supporting each other providing not just areas for improvements but identifying our key strengths.  On Wednesday we decided to have a friendly fixture against the Roey 2nds, this allowed us to have

Hey Guys, I have not posted in over a year because when I finished at university my life just went a little crazy as i guess you could imagine. I just couldn't find the time to keep my blog up to date and post new context all the time. As some of you may know reading this post, I use Instagram alot just because it is just much easier ways to connect with other that have an interest in netball, coaching, sports photography or whatever i may post about. Plus with Instagram stories i can also share my netball life live I guess you get the idea, but i have really missed blogging so I’m back.   My Aim is to post once a month minimum. The content of my blog will always be based around netball but topics will vary from Advice/ Ideas, Lifestyle, International/national updates ect because I know before I aimed to post for every topic which would sometimes means I needed to post 6-7 times in one week and I just couldn’t keep that up with my busy schedule. The week starting the 4 t
