Netball guru to coach the coaches

AUSTRALIAN Netball high performance manager Janet Bothwell will host a clinic for coaches at the upcoming Commonwealth Bank Trophy games at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre on Friday, June 29.

Bothwell, a former Australian team member and level three coach, will host a Game Analysis Workshop for coaches before the Sydney Swifts-AIS match.

Sydney TAB Swifts coach Julie Fitzgerald will address the coaches before the game.

"We have held two workshops thus far and both have been fantastic," said Irwin.

"One of the highlights is the rare opportunity to hear a pre-game address from Sydney Julie Fitzgerald.

"She visits the workshop and gives her thoughts on the match - it is truly special opportunity to get a real insight into the match."

For $25 the workshops include pre-match drinks and finger food, a ticket to the game and the opportunity for game and team analysis of the Commonwealth Bank Trophy match with some of the state's top coaches.

"As a coach you get to analyze the game, discuss how you see the match play out and debate the pros and cons of the performance," Irwin said.

"It is the perfect way to workshop your thoughts of the game as a coach, with the best

coaches around you."

Julie Fitzgerald will speak about team and individual game plans while Bothwell will add skills focus allocation.

Coaches will then take their seats to view warm up and take part in discussion on warm up techniques.

During the game coaches will discuss each quarter and changes and at the end Bothwell will discuss the match with coaches.
