It's been a tough year for netballer Cathrine Latu, her Mystics missed out on the playoffs, and she lost her spot in the Silver Ferns.
She already knows that 2016 will be better than this year, starting with her wedding in February.
"Yip I'll be playing under a different name which is a bit scary for me but I as asking for a change next year and I guess that's what it is," said Latu.
The Mystics shooter lost her spot in the Silver Ferns in 2015 and will be gunning to earn her black dress back back at trials in 2 weeks time.
But as well as working on her own game - she's been busy grooming another shooter, Megan Craig.
At over 2 meteres tall she took up a basketball scholarship in New York but will trade the basketball singlet for a netball dress when she suits up for the Mystics next year.
"I've had a couple of stepping and footwork problems but other than that I've really been improving and Cat can attest to that," said Craig.
"I've really upped my game."
