"You made it impossible not to pick you". Those were the words Dame Noeline Taurua said to Karin Burger upon selection to the Netball's Silver Ferns. Karin's journey here began when she moved to New Zealand as an 18 year old on a gap year from South Africa. Now the netball star has clocked up 50 tests for the Ferns & turned 30. Her dream to play for the Silver Ferns took years of hard work and grind taking on jobs while playing and studying.
Painfully shy, Karin did not say a word when she first started playing, learning to speak English as a second language. But she found a strong support group with her local netball club and her confidence grew. Karin shines a light on how much team culture has to play in a team's success, why pride is different from arrogance and what she's learnt from Dame Noeline Taurua.
