Leap: Making the jump to take netball to the top of the world

A good read .

Really enjoyed this book and have recommended to all my netball friends! Would love an extra chapter covering events in the 3 years since publication as she's still going strong! An inspiration.

I've never really read an autobiography,but as a netball fan and player I thought I would try it. I thought it was really interesting and do glad I read it. So much more behind the scenes than I thought. Great read

Love Geva's story!

such a great ambassador for Netball, amazing inspiration to young players up and coming who would also love to play at such an elite level. Geva is a local southern girl through and through and I've had the pleasure in working with her and knowing her as a normal person. She has shown it's not easy to get there but if you're determined anything is possible.

Having read LEAP in one go I decided It would make a great pressie for a netballing friends daughter for her Bday.Think I’ll earn some ‘Brownie Points’ she is a huge Geva Fan.Nicely written book very informative wonder if Geva will do a follow up after her retirement.

Geva has done wonders for netball and women’s sport - women’s sport is on the rise! Amazing to read some behind the scenes of netball around the world - still a long way to go but this is a great book from one of the best in the sport

I hung on every word you said it was a fantastic read to actually feel as a reader to go through the lows and extreme highs with you.

A truly great read - especially if you are into netball, which gets so little press on the world stage.Geva takes you on her journey from her mother's input into Geva's athletic life from childhood through to the champion she is now. What a legend she is, a very humble soul with a huge heart for her family. It's great she brings her brother, Raoul, into the story. Obviously her mother was the force behind her path to greatness, from the awesome gene pool to create such an athlete to her mum's backing her all the way. Looking forward to seeing what Geva brings to netball ahead of her. So impressed she's a role model for netballers who retire far too early in Australia. Thanks for sharing your story Geva and glad you are an Aussie now.

You mention the name Geva Mentor and you think of one of the worlds best netballers period- regardless of starting position. But have you ever thought about her story?The problem with many autobiographies is that the author tends to white wash their story and you get a sense that they are hiding someone. But Geva is the opposite- she specifically mentions her divorce and goes into some worts and all details surrounding it.As a writer, she is technically proficient and engages her reader- I could hardly put this novel down and didn’t want it to stop. He only downside is that there’s a seriously massive proof blunder that’s made it into the kindle edition (unsure of the hardback edition).She starts her story with her mother and father meeting before moving onto her childhood and her love for sport; while not dragging it out, you understand her love for sport, before moving onto her netball career and her move to Collingwood Magpies.I recommend this book for any netball or sport fan.
