Donnell Wallam is confident Queensland's winless start to the Super Netball season won't impact her chances of winning selection for the Netball World Cup in South Africa.
The 29-year-old goal shooter has been a shining light for the Firebirds, who have struggled to put together four quarters in four games this season.
Wallam sits third in goals scored behind Jamaican representative duo Jhaniele Fowler and Shimona Nelson and tops the Super stats for offensive rebounds.
Diamonds coach Stacey Marinkovich will name her squad at the end of the domestic season for the July-August tournament in Cape Town, where Australia will look to wrest back the trophy from New Zealand.
Wallam made her Test debut late last year in the midst of a sponsorship firestorm, which saw mining giant Gina Rinehardt pull out of a $15 million deal.
The Indigenous star showed steely resolve to nail a miracle lay-up shot to seal an Australian victory over England.
But she was then left out for Australia's quad series in Cape Town in January, which the Diamonds dominated.
Wallam said while disappointed not to make the squad she put the interests of the team first.
"You want the best for the team so if the coaches are picking a team that you're not involved in, you just trust that because I want Australia to win and the coaches know best," Wallam told AAP.
"I was obviously disappointed not to make the team but happy that the girls got the win."
Wallam said she received feedback from Marinkovich about what she needed to improve on and while she didn't reveal what that was, felt she was ticking the boxes.
"We have had a feedback session which has been helpful and she has given me some things that I need to work on, so that's been a part of my focus in preparation for games so it's something that I've definitely been working on," Wallam said.
"It is an individual focus for me but at the same time it's always making sure that I put the team first and doing everything that I can to try and get the Firebirds a win."
While the England match-winner will go down in history, Wallam produced another moment of brilliance when in action recently for the Firebirds against NSW Swifts.
She juggled the ball and managed to flick it back up into the hoop while she was falling out of court.
Wallam put the trick-shot down to her basketball background and backyard games with the family.
"It's something that's always come natural to me growing up and playing with my cousins and my brothers and sister in the backyard, just practising all these tricky shots just to see who could pull them off.
"It's just paid off for me in this league."
