PLEASE HELP?!!

We recently chose the teams for netball at my school, i tried out for the junior pro team because everyone as in my team players say i'm good and that i will get in. But I did not get in i didn't get in the a's either im in the b's. I have the speed, i can shoot sometimes and I have really good defence. What am I doing wrong. netball is my life and I really want to get on the pro team because its the best and they travel to play netball and they play a lot of games which i love. Also after every game my right ankle aches and evrypart of my body aches, stretching doesn't help me what else should i do? Please help me find maybe what im doing wrong that the judges can see.

How old are you Becca? Some of the best stars in Netball never made the A teams at school. Players can develop into fantastic netball players later on in life. As long as one has the netball brains, love of the sport and determination anyone can make it. Do not be dishartened or think you are not a good player. Use this experience to prove to those who will be looking at you in the future that you are the one!!! My daughter has just missed out in the rep team after being in it for the past 5 years. She is fourteen. She was very upset however is moving on from it now and has started increasing her training to prove to those who did not select her that they were so wrong!

You may need to go to physco first to see whats happening with your right ankle, thats first thing. second ask the coaches what you need to work on and ask why you didnt get chosen.you wont know unless you ask those that are picking the teams.they should give you postive feedback on what you need to work on, dont give up and take advice with a postive outlook to work on.goodluck

Hi Becca, ask your parents to take you to a chiropractor. The fact that you are trying out for school teams indicates that you are still quite young. I don't think you should be in so much pain after playing sport. If your spine is not moving properly it can cause all sorts of problems, including your ankle issue. Chiropractic care can help you improve your speed, balance and reaction times as well as help your body move correctly thus eliminating the aches you speak of. Good luck and keep trying for those teams. Don't lose heart and concentrate on helping your current team to win!!
