NETFIT NZ have launched Coaching with Dame Noeline, an eight part video series led by world champion Sliver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua.
Exclusive to the NETFIT NZ app, Dame Noeline breaks down fundamental concepts of her coaching in the first of three series. Series 1 sees Dame Noeline apply the concepts to attack and defence as well as offering grassroots coaches an insight into how she creates a thriving team environment.
“It’s a great opportunity to share simple concepts with coaches to grow their understanding of the game and really develop the capacity of our young players,” shares Taurua.
“I base my coaching on the three S’s - simplicity, scaffolding and specificity. Starting with the basic skill sets, adding layers and then working on specifics like timing or strategy.”
The real time coaching, delivered with aspiring North Harbour netballers, certainly left its mark with 17-year-old netballer Greer Thomas.
“It was cool how Dame Noeline took a simple skill and added elements so we can apply it when we’re on the court in a game.”
Thrilled with the opportunity to learn from a world champion coach, Thomas added: “It was such an amazing opportunity to learn from her. Her messaging is so clear and easy to integrate on game day.”
Georgia Trent, NETFIT NZ Community and Digital manager, is excited for the netball community to embrace the new content.
“The series from Dame Noeline adds to the world class content already on the app. You’ve got fitness and skills with Laura Langman, arguably the fittest player the game has seen and now coaching insight from one of netball's greatest minds.
“It’s no secret that Dame Noeline is an exceptional coach, so to be able to share her expertise with our netball community is such a privilege.”
With the NETFIT NZ App available for free for a limited time only, now coaches around New Zealand and the world have the opportunity to learn from Dame Noeline Taurua.
