With over 15 years in the State Netball League, I bring a deep understanding of the game as I transition into coaching. My goal is to inspire, develop, and empower players, drawing on my experience to help them thrive on and off the court. Most of my experience is from playing (and coaching) for the Brisbane North Cougars where I won 9 premierships in 11 years.
Throughout my playing career, I have had exposure to some of the best coaches in Queensland and understand the high-performance model. I have been able to shape who I am as a player and coach, as I take the best parts of each coach and teams' style and create my own hybrid style of coaching. I am a Secondary School Health & Physical Education teacher by trade, which demonstrates my ability to work with children of all ages. I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching sessions where I focus on both specialist defence and attack skills depending on what you are after.

We had a fantastic experience with Jess. We asked her to focus on goal circle movement and creating space, as my daughter can’t rely on height, and she absolutely delivered. She was patient, kind, and explained things in a way that really clicked. The session was well-structured and full of practical tips my daughter c ...
We highly recommend Jess. Sessions are well structured with clear goals for the session. Sessions are a perfect blend of fitness, skills and fun. Drills and prompts are explained in a way that resonates with our daughter. Jess is highly motivating and knows how to pull the most out of the session.
My 13-year-old daughter got so much out of her session with Jess! We’ll definitely be booking again. Jess has an incredible ability to not only understand the game but to teach it in a way that really connects with younger players. Thank you, Jess!
My 10 year old daughter had a fun and productive first session with Jess! Her knowledge and experience were obvious and she was able to explain to and correct my daughter effectively.
Had a fantastic training session! Jess was super organized, came fully prepared with a training plan. The techniques she shared were practical and really helpful - they have made a big difference. Highly recommend—would definitely book again!
