Wilma Shakespear was the director of Queensland Academy of Sport
and has recently retired as the director of the English Institute
of Sport. Before overseeing the delivery of support to elite
athletes, Wilma played and coached for the Australian netball team.
In fact, Wilma was the world's first professional coach of an elite
netball programme, and at 26 she was the youngest national coach
ever appointed by Australia.
Margaret Caldow, BEM, was a player in the Australian netball team
for 10 years and was the captain for 8 years. She played in three
winning World Championship teams. She has been involved with
netball coaching since 1980. Her various coaching roles have
included coach at the Australian Institute of Sport, specialist
shooting coach of the Australian National team, head coach of the
Victorian Institute of Sport and head coach of the Melbourne
Kestrels. From 2004 to 2008 Margaret was employed by England
Netball as the national head coach. During this time she led
England to a bronze medal in the 2006 Commonwealth Games and a
fourth-place finish at the 2007 World Championships, and on the new
world rankings that commenced in January 2008, she took England to
a third-place world ranking. In 1988, Caldow was inducted into the
Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
In 2005, Sport Australia Hall of Fame honoured both Margaret and
Wilma as members of the 1963 Australian netball team for winning
the first world netball championships in England.
'For players and coaches, this is a must-read netball resource from
Wilma Shakespear and Margaret Caldow, two of Australia's most
creative netball minds.'
