Linda Vagana

On 15 June 2005 former Silver Fern Linda Vagana participated in a videoconference with six secondary schools from around New Zealand.

Watch clips of Linda talking about:

  • playing for your country
  • succeeding in sport and education
  • self confidence
  • goal setting
  • self motivation.

Linda Vagana has played at the top level of New Zealand sport for seventeen years representing New Zealand, Samoa, and Northland Force in netball.

Linda has balanced sporting success with study and career, and has worked at the Auckland University of Technology as the marketing co-ordinator for the Faculty of Arts.

Currently Linda is the General Manager of Books in Homes, a charitable organisation that aims to put books into the homes of every New Zealand child who, through no fault of their own, normally wouldn’t own any.
