I think sport is tougher than it's ever been.

It's a really tough environment out there, and I don't think that's unique to sport.

The commercial landscape is incredibly tough.

The pressures from participants, consumers, there's high expectations, and I think all of those things converge in sport.

And as a result, we're seeing some of the things that we're seeing.

But one of the things I think as a sector sport needs to do more of is we need to share those challenges and we need to share the tough times more, certainly in confidence, because the more we can understand what's happened when things go wrong, the more we can try and mitigate it happening elsewhere into the future.

So I've been reflecting on a lot of what has been challenging throughout sport over recent years.

It's really important I deeply understand it to the extent that I can with confidentiality and ensuring that we take those learnings from the sector forward and we ensure that netball is stronger as a result.

Look, it's interesting, Mike.

We've touched about reflecting on what happened last year and I have seen that from the outside in.

I have said already that I haven't had an opportunity to connect with Dame Noeline yet because I haven't started in the role.

I start on August the 12th.

What I think is really important to note is that it's been well documented that Dame Noeline and the interim chief executive, Jane Patterson, have got a really strong working relationship.

And I think that is a fantastic thing for the organisation and for the sport.

And when I start in August, my intention is just to continue with that momentum into the future.

Well, I think sport, you know, when we talk about well-being of everyone in sport, it's incredibly important.

You know, well-being of athletes, well-being of coaches.

We've got to ensure that the high performance environment is effective for everyone involved.

And that's a really tricky balance to strike.

But there's many organisations that are doing that really well.
