Why 1:1 coaching

What's included

The Netbird Performance Framework

Rebuild & Reinforce

Identify weak links and recurring niggles. Targeted prehab so you can stay and play without hesitation, and rehab support to get back to doing what you love safely.

Expose & Progress

Every component of fitness you need to perform at your best on court is exposed and progressed over time. That includes strength, power, speed, agility and conditioning.

Fuel & Recover

The Netbird Nutrition education curriculum covers everything from fuelling for performance and recovery, to the menstrual cycle, peri/menopause, and building a healthier relationship with food.

What athletes say about Netbird Performance coaching

I've been training, fuelling, and recovering like an athlete. It's not only changed my netball game but it's improved my health, wellbeing, and continually ignited my motivation. For once I am training for performance and not looks or what's on the scale, and I'm enjoying every minute. I'm so glad I started this. I'm playing some of my best netball and I've never felt so happy, strong, and fit in my own body.

I can't say enough brilliant things about this programme. I've seriously taken such a good turn mentally when it comes to food. You've given me food freedom back. The focus on training, strength, mobility, balance, and nutrition makes it so wholesome, so healing, so empowering, and so not what you get bombarded with everywhere else. Rachel really encourages you to get it done and holds you accountable whilst giving you the autonomy and flexibility to work it around your challenges and lifestyle.

I honestly reached heights this year that I did not think were possible. I hit loads of personal bests in the gym, ran my first 21km in 10 years, and ended last netball season as player of the season. Training with Rachel completely changed how I approached the gym. After having a baby, this was the first time I genuinely became stronger, even stronger than I was pre-pregnancy. She helped me rediscover my love for training, shift my focus from weight and appearance to performance, and build real confidence in my body.

About Rachel

Coaching built by a netballer, for netballers

I'm an S&C coach and Nutritionist with a MSc in Nutrition, a background as a Clinical Pharmacist, and experience in elite netball including Super League competition.

I built Netbird Performance because I believe every netballer, regardless of age, ability or where they are in the world, deserves access to quality coaching that addresses both the physical demands of the sport and the nutrition realities of being a female athlete.

My approach is education-led, performance-focused, and built around keeping Netballers on court doing what they love, performing at their best, for longer.
