Sam Bird, CEO & Head Coach
“We’re looking at really extending the performance environment at London Pulse and continuing to create a world-class performance environment for our athletes,” Bird, who will be joined by Performance Director Lisa Alexander, said.

“We believe that we have a large number of the most highly talented elite netballers and future elite netballers in the country. A lot of them are from London too, and it’s inspirational and a privilege for us as staff to be working with them and giving these players the best environment possible at London Pulse.”

“London has such a rich tapestry of talent; it’s the most diverse city in the UK and we have over 30 languages spoken within our club.” We have an amazing group of diverse people and that’s part of our strength. We’re excited to bring all of these athletes, with their different individual strengths and cultural heritage together. It makes London Pulse a really exciting place to be.”

“We want to bring a relentless pursuit of quality, to do everything as well as we can. As a team of staff, we want to make sure that every contact that we have with the players is one that challenges and develops them, so that it pushes them forwards and the club as a whole.”

“Myself, Lisa and all of the staff at Pulse just cannot wait to get started and work with this group week in and week out. It’s such a dynamic and hard-working group and amount of talent within it is phenomenal.”

“As staff and coaches, we’re thrilled to be the ones that are going to have the privilege of bringing this group together and helping them to gel in a Superleague environment. There’s no doubting the quality of the players that we’ve got; it’s probably the most exciting roster that I’ve had in years.”
