Anita Navin has been appointed as chair of the World Netball Coaching Advisory Panel (CAP) which is responsible for helping the governing body's chief executive and Board to implement their strategic plan.

Navin has been a member of the panel for two four-year terms and will replace World Netball Service Award winner Jill McIntosh in the role as she has reached the end of her third term, having been appointed in April 2018.

"It has been an honour to have chaired the Coaching Advisory Panel over many years," said the departing McIntosh.

"During this time I have worked alongside some very dedicated members of CAP.

"The panel has worked hard to develop the CAP coaching strategy and has implemented many coaching initiatives.

"We have tried as best we could to provide coaches worldwide with updated resources and the delivery of coaching seminars at many major events.

"It gives me great pride to hear that the online coaching hub will be launched later this year.

"I take this opportunity to congratulate Anita as the new chair of CAP and wish her and the new members all the very best going forward."

Within World Netball, Navin has led on the development and implementation of the coaching strand of the World Netball Africa Coaching and Officiating Framework.

She has also recently completed a doctorate in netball coaching and was named UK Coach Educator of the Year "for her commitment to coach development" with England Netball.

"On behalf of the World Netball team I would like to thank Jill for her significant contribution to international netball," said World Netball President Liz Nicholl.

"In Jill's time as chair, she has led the development of the CAP coaching strategy and the implementation of a wide variety of coaching initiatives including the creation and delivery of coaching resources and courses around the world.

"Jill has also led the start of the creation of an online coaching hub which will be launched later this year.

"Thank you, Jill for your hard work and commitment.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Anita on being appointed as the new Chair.

"We look forward to working with you to continue to support our members and develop coaching levels worldwide."

Outside of netball, Navin has worked with many other sports governing bodies such as British Rowing, British Tennis, the Football Association, and British Equestrian where she was involved in the delivery of coach development activities.

Support insidethegames.biz for as little as £10

For nearly 15 years now, insidethegames.biz has been at the forefront of reporting fearlessly on what happens in the Olympic Movement. As the first website not to be placed behind a paywall, we have made news about the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and other major events more accessible than ever to everybody. 

insidethegames.biz has established a global reputation for the excellence of its reporting and breadth of its coverage. For many of our readers from more than 200 countries and territories around the world the website is a vital part of their daily lives. The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at 6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of their day as their first cup of coffee.

Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since. 

As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent journalism. Your vital support would mean we can continue to report so comprehensively on the Olympic Movement and the events that shape it. It would mean we can keep our website open for everyone. Last year, nearly 25 million people read insidethegames.biz, making us by far the biggest source of independent news on what is happening in world sport. 

Every contribution, however big or small, will help maintain and improve our worldwide coverage in the year ahead. Our small and dedicated team were extremely busy last year covering the re-arranged Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, an unprecedented logistical challenge that stretched our tight resources to the limit. 

The remainder of 2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We had the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we sent a team of four reporters, and coming up are the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read, regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be transparent.

When British skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won the Olympic gold medal in ice dance at Sarajevo 1984 with 12 perfect 6.0s from every judge, for their interpretation of Maurice Ravel's Boléro, an important member of their team was singer-actor Michael Crawford. Crawford, who had played Frank Spencer in British sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and the title role in the musical The Phantom of the Opera, had become a mentor to the pair in 1981 and went on to help them create their Olympic routine. Crawford said he “taught them how to act". He was present with their trainer Betty Callaway at the ringside at Sarajevo as they created one of the most iconic moments in Olympic history.
