Netball newbie joins Aotearoa Men’s team in merely months
The possibilities given by social media and online networking in this age is at an all-time high. It could be finder.com or simply your ability to market yourself through cyber networking that gets you your wage, however, the effort still comes since actually clicking that application is easier said than done. We all feel nerves rush through us before asking for a position anywhere – but what about if you were looking to get into something you had never done before? “I decided to give Netball a go this year and so happy I took that leap of faith.

His work hours now incorporate court collision with New Zealand’s National Silver Ferns, giving Amosa the passion to show how men can perform in the female-dominated netball space. It seems for Amosa, these moments to make power moves could keep on coming.
