 Who would you like to thank?: I would like to thank my family and friends for helping me since day one and pushing me to starting my field hockey career. My parent have played a crucial role in my athletic development as they donated countless hours to drive me four hours twice a week in order for me to practice with my club team. I would like to give a special thanks to my coaches Jun and Richard Kentwell, because without them I would not be the player I am today. The competitive and constructive club that they have built has helped open me up to the world of competitive field hockey. I would like to also thank the numerous coaches that I have had over the years who have all shared their own unique form of the sport which have helped me form my own technique. All in all I could not have done it without the support of the people around me.
