The Spirit of Netball Award: Norma Plummer

The Spirit of Netball Award acknowledges and recognises Norma's unwavering commitment to winning the 2011 World Netball Championship. The preparation of the team (including officials) was carefully planned with nothing left to chance. Norma understood every small detail about the athletes and their abilities, had researched every competitor and not only knew their strengths and weaknesses but understood very clearly how to exploit their weaknesses and combat their strengths.

Norma is the master tactician who when the team was looking defeat in the face made two inspired moves. The stadium (and everyone at home) gasped but clearly Norma was in the 'zone', had amazing faith in her athletes but more importantly had prepared for this very moment.

The athletes did not let her down. It was a win that all of Australia will remember when they think of the greatest contests between the Diamonds and the Silver Ferns.

It is a win that celebrated Norma's extraordinary career and makes Norma eminently qualified and deserving to receive the inaugural Spirit of Netball Award.
