Up and In is the ultimate shooter's guide offering comprehensive information on:
Netball shooting is one of the most important aspects of the game and coaches of junior teams should spend some time conducting specialist sessions with their netball shooters. The "Up and In" e-book provides guidance for coaches of junior level teams; but has been written to suit the younger audience.
This is a paperless e-book. Once you purchase the e-book it will be available to download to your computer straight away! (Saves you time; saves the environment)
Through high school and my representative netball career, I’ve had fantastic coaches who have taught me valuable skills about goal-shooting, from goal-setting (both short and long-term) to sneaky passes to set plays to simulated training sessions. I wanted to share the information I picked up over the last 15 years in an e-book that could be accessed easily online.
The e-book is really a shooter’s handbook written for 12 – 16 year old netball shooters (or those player’s who want to become a shooter) and covers the basics (shooting technique, set plays) to more advanced lessons (such as exercises that help to become a stronger shooter, shooter psychology tips and more). Club and high school coaches may also find this information useful if they ever lead specialised sessions with their goal shooters.

This month's interview is with current Leeds Carnegie goal-attack and former Queensland Firebird, Carla Dziwoki.
Up and In: How do you get your eye in on match-day? What's your pre-match routine?
Carla: I like to keep my match day relatively normal. If it is a home game I will often just go for a walk see some friends. I like to listen to music so on the way to the game I like to pump some of my favourtie songs. When at the game I always need to hit the post to get my eye in. I only really like to shoot till the shots start to feel good.
Up and In: If you've missed a couple shots and not feeling confident during a game, how do you recover?
Carla Before a game if I am missing some shots in the warm up I tell myself that I am just getting all the bad shots out the way. In a game I always like to get my first shot in...bit of a neve settler. If I dont I just keep trying to put my shots up. I have confidence in my technique and know that it will come. Everyone has a bad game though...what matters is how you bounce back
Up and In: What do you think, personally, has been the biggest factor into getting you playing at national level?
Carla: I was playing in a very strong state league coach in Adelaide when I was 20 and I had a coach that instilled a lot of confidence in me. We played against the AIS and beat them in a grand final where Norma Plumber asked me to trial for the Institute. I made the squad that that was my first big break. Norma was a brilliant coach who also had a lot of faith in me. It was there I learnt how to train hard and got experience playing against some of the best netballers in the world.
Up and In: What's the best advice you could give to an up-and-coming shooter?
Carla: Ask questions...LOTS of questions. Sometimes being told you are not good enough is the best thing you can hear, as you then know what you can work on to become better. For me being told I wasnt good enough to make a state team was one of the turning points in my netball career. I was upset at first when I was told I needed to play more than just goal shooter. But I went away and with the help of my state league coach became a regular goal attack and have not looked back since.

Work on your focus - it's the defender's aim to unravel you when you play. If they're playing overly aggressively, or intimidating you whilst you shoot - you need to shift the focus back on yourself.
Setting goals for the game (such as
leading strong onto the ball, chasing up every shot, etc) can help you retain focus on your own game.
Don't get involved in defender antics, that's what they want you to do!
