Michaela Sokolich-Beaton is the captain of the Northern Mystics netball team and a proud member of the Silver Ferns

But Michaela's story is less about netball and more about resilience, determination and red-hot passion.

Her journey is a masterclass in perseverance as she candidly shares the mental and emotional trials of battling setback after setback and the fierce determination it takes to return to elite sport.

I loved this one and I hope you guys do too.
