A very honest and open conversation with current NZ Netball Silver Fern and Auckland Mystic Captain Sulu Tone - Fitzpartick.

It was great to hear her story of growth, resilience, determination, and discovery as she takes us through her journey.  

Through her early years of becoming a professional netballer straight of high school as a teenager with huge potential and talent to taking the opportunity for granted and moving away from home to get more playing opportunities.  Then became a mother of twins and dabbled in another sport (rugby)  before she realized what she wanted to do in her life.  She educated herself about what she needed to do to get her where she wanted to  be.  She went back to her culture and faith and with the continued support of her family she found her way through to where she wants to be, not just as a sports person but more importantly as a person and a mother.

Sulu achieved the highest individual award in 2021 being awarded the Dame Lois Muir trophy for the standout netball player in New Zealand, she is also one of the most respected.  A true testament to her work ethic and tenacity.

I thoroughly enjoyed our chat and was able to pick up some gold nuggets from her story.  Truly inspiring and motivating.

Make sure to have a listen.
