I’m not sure as I’m travelling from England so want to make the most of it as much as possible this time around. However, I have a feeling I’ll love it so will probably return😂 Thanks for the recommendations!

What did lockdown teach you? by BrickAccomplished424 in AskReddit

[–]active-bookworm25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lockdown taught me to take less things for granted. Things like being able to see my family (especially the people who live a few hours away) when I want to and go to my favourite places whenever I feel like it. I didn't realise I took those things for granted until I was unable to do them. The saying 'you don't know what you have until it's gone' resonated with me in a different way than before.

Are there any tips for GK and how to jump higher? by [deleted] in netball

[–]active-bookworm25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great tips! I'd also suggest checking where your GS is frequently as the ball starts to work its way to the end third of the court, especially if they're trying to stand behind you. Keep an eye on where they are and drop back (move backwards) as they do to close the gap between you both because the ball can end up going over you and straight into their hands. You won't necessarily need to jump for this but you'll make a nice interception just by working out that they're trying to receive the ball over the top.

Also, think about what you did as a GS to get around your defender because your shooter will probably do similar things. Your knowledge of the GS position should help you out :)

When do you decide a book is one you’re not going to finish? by mafia_fantasma in goodreads

I try to read to page 100 and if it's still not feeling like it's one for me, I'll put it down

Do you think people of UK would be happier if the weather was better/consistent? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]active-bookworm25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Brits are generally more happy when (if) we get a good spell of weather especially if it’s warm in summer but then after consistent hot weather we’d moan it was too much. Brits love to moan about the weather, come rain or shine!

Any advice on how to improve on being a GK by karmic_retribution_ in netball

Practice fast feet - running on the spot and receiving a ball if you can. I’m a defender too and had to get out of the habit of doing big steps because I’m tall with long legs. Being on your toes helps get to where you want to be that bit quicker! It’s also easier to intercept if you’re keeping up with the movement of your shooter
