Kadeen Corbin was a keen gymnast and a talented track and field athlete as a youngster, first starting to play netball at the age of 12.
Kadeen has been playing netball since she was 12. Her biggest inspiration is her older sister Sasha (who also plays alongside her).
She was part of the England squad that won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and plays in the Superleague for Saracens Mavericks.
Kadeen was inspired to concentrate on netball because she “loved” watching sister and fellow England team-mate Sasha playing when they were younger.
Now playing for Saracens Mavericks as a goal shooter and goal attack, Kadeen is an established England Netball International with more than 50 caps to her name, and is a full time athlete.
She plays in goal shooter and goal attack on England’s Roses Netball Team. During the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia, she was part of the England Roses team which won the netball gold medal for the first time defeating Australia in the final.
Kadeen covers a range of topics including;
Every athlete faces tough times, whether it’s injury, defeat, or personal challenges. In this talk, our athletes open up about the adversity they have experienced and how they found the strength to bounce back. Pupils will learn about the importance of resilience, determination, and staying positive in difficult situations. These are valuable lessons they can use in school, sport, and life.
Having a growth mindset means believing you can improve through effort, learning, and perseverance. In this talk, our athletes explain how this way of thinking has helped them deal with setbacks, learn from mistakes, and keep improving, no matter the odds. Pupils will be encouraged to embrace challenges, stay positive, and understand that hard work and resilience lead to progress in sport and in life.
Inclusion and diversity are essential for creating a positive and supportive environment for everyone. In this talk, our athletes share their experiences of embracing differences, breaking down barriers, and building inclusive teams. Pupils will be inspired to celebrate diversity, foster understanding, and stand up for others, both in sport and in all areas of life.
Behind every athlete’s success is the importance of looking after their mind as well as their body.

Pupils will hear positive, practical advice on looking after their own wellbeing, coping with stress, and the importance of speaking up and supporting each other.
