Silver Fern Maia Wilson has spent her career battling with her body image.
The top goal shooter took to social media this week to share her journey from being a teenage netball player told she needed to lose weight - to eight years later taking her pursuit of weight-loss too far.
The 23-year-old has received messages of support from around the world from women who can relate to what she's facing.
However, Wilson isn't the only netballer this year to spell out the mental and physical struggles they endure with their bodies to stay at the top.
