Ex-captain of the Queensland Firebirds and netball royalty Laura Geitz has only gone from strength to strength since announcing her retirement from the competitive sport last year.

Congrats on your new ambassadorship with Carzoos, can you tell us a bit about it?

You’re pregnant and expecting in March, congrats! How did you keep it a secret from your teammates?

Will you be encouraging your child to play a team sport?

“This is something that myself and my husband Mark believe very strongly in. We will absolutely be encouraging our child to lead a very healthy and active lifestyle, particularly in terms of playing a team sport. If that’s not netball or rugby (our chosen sports) then that’s completely fine as I am a firm believer that a child needs to make up their own mind on what they enjoy and what sport they are passionate about.

“To me team sport teaches an individual so much. There is an element of discipline, not letting your teammates down, working towards a common goal with others and realising that you are a part of something that’s a lot bigger than just yourself! I could go on all day about the benefits of playing a team sport but one thing is for certain and that is that our child will definitely be involved in some form of team sport.”

What are the most surprising symptoms you’ve had since being pregnant?

Which of your captain and netball skills will you be relying on in motherhood?
