ENGLAND netball goal shooter Natalie Haythornthwaite gave Loreto Preparatory School hot shots a master class in precision shooting under pressure.
The fast emerging England under-21 international said: “It's about reproducing your very best form under pressure. When the clock is ticking down you have to make that hoop. Pressure is something you have to enjoy not fear.”
Natalie who is currently studying Linguistics and Phonetics at Leeds University and plays for the Yorkshire Jets in the national netball league added: “Netball is rapidly gaining more media exposure and all the girls around my age are hoping it will become a viable professional career sooner rather than later.”
