General Interest

General
MOVE TO BELGIUM
After Spain failed to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, her motivation for hockey suffered. She moved to Belgium for the next seven years and played with the Royal Wellington Tennis Club and Braxgata Hockey Club before returning to Spain in 2019. "I had watched my sister [Silvia] compete in two Olympic Games [2004, 2008] and I never imagined we would not qualify in 2012. I cried while watching the opening ceremony in London on television. I decided that I needed a change of scenery, I didn't want to continue with the same routine. I wanted to see a new type of hockey, meet new people, learn a new language. I needed something to motivate me again." She returned to Spain in 2019 in order to be part of the national team for the 2020 Olympic Games. "In Belgium I could live off hockey and consider it my job, but here in Spain I'll never be able to do that. But returning was the only way to get ready for the [2020] Olympic Games."
