Solonaima Maria Tuta’ia - Former New Zealand Silver Fern GA
“I have had the privilege of knowing Judy since I started my netball career at the age of 14.
I have been so blessed to have had amazing mentors and coaches, who have helped steer my netball ship and made me the player I am today. Judy is definitely one of them. I say this from the heart, experiences and lifelong lessons she has shared and taught me.
She has taught me to embrace who I am, magnify my strengths, do what’s right and best for me and have a few laughs along the way. She is an amazing coach and mentor.
Her knowledge of the game, on and off the court is second to none. Her ability to read, predict play and teach the game in a way to get the best out of a player is a talent that is rare.
But most of all netball aside, she is fun loving, flamboyant, honest, beautiful soul and someone you would trust your life.
She is an amazing mother, loving wife, mentor, role model and a very special friend.” – Solonaima Maria Tuta’ia

“Judy puts 100% commitment into the game and demands equal commitment from the team. Her passion for the game pulls the team together and motivates them to succeed. As a young player she has encouraged me to work hard to achieve my personal goals and potential.”“I have huge admiration for Judy as a coach. Her knowledge of the game and ability to work with and recognise each player’s skills and potential is impressive. She demands focus, determination and hard work from all players.”
“Being involved in the teams that Judy has coached has been a highlight of my netball career; firstly as a 16yr old in Auckland National Provincial side and then the U21 side.”
“As a New Zealand Silver Fern I’m grateful to coaches like Judy who have and continue to encourage and support me.” – Camilla Lees
