Marion Meates has been working with elite athletes for 20 years. She has a wealth of experience working with top-level netballers. This includes being physiotherapist for the Silver Ferns and New Zealand A sides, as well as being involved with the Canterbury Flames, and now the Tactix franchise, for many years.

Apart from netball, Marion has also worked with cricket, athletics and swimming organisations. Some of her career highlights include attending the Sydney Olympics, as well as the Kuala Lumpur, Manchester and Melbourne Commonwealth Games, as part of the New Zealand medical teams.    

Marion has three children that keep her occupy much of her time! She is looking forward to continuing in her role as phsyio for the Tactix. She believes being a physio for high-performance athletes is as much about managing the injury as it is about managing the athlete.

She loves keeping fit and particularly likes swimming and running.
