Dan Ryan fell in love with the sport of netball from a young age, and fulfilled his childhood dream when he captained Victoria and Australia.
His coaching career began with Corio Devils in the Geelong District, followed by an Assistant role with the Adelaide Thunderbirds. When he lands the top job, it turns into a nightmare! Dan’s side loses 27 games straight, leaving him shocked, stressed and riddled with anxiety.
After parting ways with the club, and plenty plenty of soul searching, he secures the Head Coaching position with Northern Ireland as well as the Leeds Rhinos.
Then, after an exhaustive interview process, Dan replaces Stacey Marinkovich at the West Coast Fever, and leads the team to its first title in 25 years.
Dan’s story should be mandatory listening, and a blueprint for any aspiring coach on the enormous highs and lows in sport.
