Adelaide Thunderbirds’ General Manager of High Performance, Jace Bode, joins Chloe and Paul as they go Down Under for the latest episode of their ‘Unlocked’ extended interview series. 

Jace begins by opening up on how the Thunderbirds navigated the news of Shamera Sterling-Humphrey’s pregnancy and the integration of South Africa’s Sanmarie Visser, detailing the sensitivities involved and why the timeline unfolded as it did.

From limited funds to contracting quirks, we hear what it’s like to work day-to-day as a General Manager of High Performance, including working alongside renowned coaches Tania Obst and Cathy Fellows. What keeps Jace up at night? How does he rest, if at all?

Turning to the future, we discuss bigger picture ideas, including what netball should be doing to keep pace with the rest of the sporting landscape in Australia and worldwide.

Enjoy!
