The goal shooter who learned to love her height

Georgia Rowe is setting her sights on qualifying for the 2027 Netball World Cup in Australia, her third World Cup, and on 100 caps for Wales.

The goal shooter who learned to love her height

Georgia Rowe, the tallest player in the Netball Super League, used to despise her six-foot-five-inch stature. However, she now embraces it and doesn't even notice her height. Standing at 195cm, she is the only goal shooter taller than Uganda's Mary Cholhok. Rowe's journey began after her father encouraged her to join her school's netball team.

Now, she has earned over 80 caps and aims to qualify for her third Netball World Cup. Despite initial nerves, she has learned to deal with them and remains passionate about the sport.
