2. The 2011 World Netball Championships has
renewed my interest in the sport
3. It was quite interesting to see how players
ignored the obstructions of their opponents
and focused on the ring in order to score well
anticipated points for their countries
4. Like with other sports, if a player is wounded,
the medical personnel quickly attend to the
injured player or the player is quickly replaced
5. Whenever there is a conflict, referees often
bring the conflict to a speedy end and with
the blow of a whistle, shout: āPlay on!ā

22. Michael Jordan says: āObstacles donāt have to
stop you. If you run into a wall, donāt turn
around and give up. Figure out how to climb
it, go through it, or work around it.ā
