This episode, sports commentator and former Australian Netball Team Captain, Liz Ellis, takes us through her journey towards becoming the most capped netball player in Australian history, and beyond.

From the 'sliding door' moments that shaped her career, to the focus required to wear down one of netball's fiercest competitors, and all the fun of raising 'chooks' named after former coaches, Liz takes "The Ball and All" boys - former Wallaby, Berrick Barnes, his good friend and sports business mentor, Steve "Condo" Condon, and former Junior World Surfing Champion, James "Woody" Wood - around the court.

For 5 years, Liz suffered from secondary infertility. Now she has written a book filled with expert information called If At First You Don’t Conceive to help other families going through what she went through...
