Welcome to 2026! In this New Year episode of Off-the-Posts: Scarletts Edition, Georgi is joined by Issy for a refreshing, honest take on goal setting in netball and in life — without the pressure, guilt, or unrealistic expectations.

Together they explore why we set goals, when they help, when they don’t, and how intentions, joy, and process goals can sometimes be more powerful than chasing outcomes. From shooting stats to self-belief, and from school stress to injuries and burnout, this episode keeps it real.

You’ll hear:
✨ Georgi and Issy’s personal goals for 2026 (including one very ambitious Scarletts dream)
✨ Why flexible, joy-based goals often work better than rigid resolutions
✨ The mental health side of New Year’s pressure
✨ What Scarletts players — juniors and adults — are hoping for this year
✨ Tips for setting healthy, motivating goals that actually stick
✨ A fun round of Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play – Goal Setting Edition
✨ And a myth-busting segment on Netball New Year’s Resolutions

Whether you’re aiming to win leagues, build confidence, recover from injury, or simply enjoy your netball more, this episode is a reminder that progress isn’t always loud — but it always counts.

🏐 Set goals that serve you, not stress you. Let’s make 2026 a year of growth, joy, and Scarletts sparkle.

What really happens at home when netball isn’t just a hobby… it’s a lifestyle?

In this special, laugh-out-loud episode, Georgi is joined by her husband Neil — self-proclaimed Netball Widow — to lift the curtain on life behind the scenes of grassroots netball. From late-night fixtures and cold dinners to emotional match debriefs, lost hair grips and living with a coach, player and umpire, nothing is off limits.

Together they chat about:

• What it actually means to be a “netball widow”

• Late nights, long drives and netball taking over the house

• The highs and lows of wins, losses and injuries

• Learning netball purely through osmosis

• A Netball Widow Pop Quiz

• Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play – Widow Edition

• Netball phrases that definitely mean something else

• Finishing the sentence… netball style

• And a big Scarletts shout-out to the families, partners and supporters who make grassroots sport possible

Recorded in that strange limbo week between Christmas and New Year, this episode is funny, honest and full of love for the people who support netball from the sidelines — and the sofa.

Whether you’re a coach, player, umpire, parent, partner or proud netball widow — this one’s for you.

Happy Feet: Why Foot Health Matters in Netball

Strong netball starts from the ground up — and in this episode of Off the Posts: Scarletts Edition, we’re talking all things feet.

Georgi is joined by Scarletts player and podiatrist Steph Owen from SO Podiatry, proud sponsors of our juniors Sonics, for a brilliant deep dive into foot health in netball. From common foot and ankle injuries to the importance of wearing the right trainers and socks at grassroots level, this episode is packed with practical advice for players, parents, and coaches alike.

We cover:

• The most common foot injuries netballers experience

• Why correct footwear matters — especially for juniors

• How a podiatrist can support netball performance and injury prevention

• What trainers Scarletts players are actually wearing on court

Whether you’re a junior just starting out, a parent buying yet another pair of trainers, or a player trying to stay pain-free, this episode will help keep you moving comfortably and confidently.

What does it really mean to become a netball coach — and stay one?

In this special episode of Off the Posts: Scarletts Edition, Georgi is joined by Leanne to unpack the coaching journey from two very different perspectives. With 15 years of coaching experience behind her, Georgi reflects on the lessons, challenges, and creativity that come with life on the sidelines, while Leanne shares what it’s like stepping into coaching for the very first time this year.

Together, they dive into:

• Why we coach and what keeps us coming back

• Creative problem-solving on court (and when plans don’t go to plan)

• Support, mentorship, and guidance for new coaches

• Common barriers to coaching — confidence, cost, time, and imposter syndrome

• The differences between coaching juniors and adults (spoiler: adults want therapy)

• Managing expectations — of players, parents, and yourself

• Sideline behaviour, parent dynamics, and keeping junior netball positive

The episode also celebrates a huge moment for Georgi, who has just been named UK Coaching Community Coach of the Year 2025 — reflecting humbly, proudly, and standing firmly in her “I belong” moment.

Whether you’re an experienced coach, a brand-new one, a player thinking about taking the step, or a parent wanting to understand what happens behind the scenes, this episode is honest, practical, funny, and full of heart.

This week on Off the Posts: Scarletts Edition, we’re diving straight into the most unexpectedly essential part of netball life… game day underwear. Yes — we’re going there.

Georgi is joined by brand-new co-host Zoe for her podcast debut (complete with nerves, chaos, and multiple water-bottle incidents). Together, they unpack everything players never talk about openly — but definitely should. From sports bras and support levels to superstition pants and the great “what undies should I wear under my dress?” debate, this episode is equal parts educational, hilarious, and wildly relatable.

We break down why the right sports bra is a non-negotiable in netball — from reducing breast pain to improving confidence and performance — with shoutouts to NetballHer resources, Eleanor Cardwell, and the real heroes: parents navigating the trauma of the sports bra aisle. We’re also sharing player confessions, junior-friendly advice, netball icks, gear tips, and one of our most chaotic segments yet: Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play — The Underwear Edition.

Whether you’re a seasoned player, a newbie on court, or a supportive parent trying to decode compression vs encapsulation, this episode has something for everyone — practical tips, honest conversations, and plenty of laughs.

In this episode:

• The real reason sports bras matter in netball

• Why teens need comfort and confidence above everything

• Game day undies: what players actually wear

• Georgi’s love letter to Maaree bras

• Visible pant lines, wedgies, strap disasters & other iconic netball icks

• Gear tips to keep your kit comfy, supported, and match-ready

• Zoe faces her first ever “Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play!”

Join us for an empowering, educational, and unapologetically funny deep dive into the gear that keeps players moving, jumping, sprinting — and supported.

Off the Posts: Scarletts Edition — where netball, real talk, and community collide.

This week on Off the Posts: Scarletts Edition, Georgi and Suzy dive into one of the toughest — but most inspiring — chapters in any netballer’s journey: the comeback after injury. From ankle sprains to ACL tears, this episode celebrates the grit, patience, and pure determination behind getting back on court.

Join us as we explore the highs, lows, and sometimes hilarious realities of rehab, rebuilding confidence, and trusting your body again. Suzy opens up about her own recent return to play, Georgi shares her battle with “I’m totally fine” denial, and together they unpack why the mental side of recovery is just as big as the physical.

Plus, this week’s Scarlett’s Shoutout goes to club legends Emily, Georg, and Alycia — all powering through their own comebacks like absolute champs. If plait power works for Jo Weston, we’re convinced it’ll work for them too.

You’ll also enjoy:
✨ Heartfelt conversations about patience, perspective, and loving the game more after time away
✨ The power of teammates, friendship, and physio-approved cheering
✨ Rehab fails, resistance-band chaos, and why deep heat is basically a personality trait
✨ A special injury-themed Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play
✨ Bonus round: choosing between netball icons (yes, even you, Jamie-Lee Price)
✨ Our most chaotic segment yet — Netball Icks, comeback edition

Finally, Georgi and Suzy share advice for anyone facing a comeback of their own — from celebrating small wins to resisting the urge to rush back too soon. Because every return to court, no matter how slow, is a victory worth shouting about.

🏐 Whether you’re in rehab, supporting someone who is, or just love a good comeback story, this episode is full of laughs, honesty, and pure netball heart.

Whether you’re studying, working, parenting, or just trying to keep all your plates spinning, this episode is a reminder that you’re doing better than you think — and your team always has your back.
