PUTTING PRACTICE
In 2020 and 2021, when travelling with the Great Britain squad for international fixtures during the COVID-19 pandemic, he said he spent a lot of time focusing on improving his golf putting when quarantined in hotel rooms. "My quarantine period was very different to some of the others. I took a putting mat, so I hit a lot of golf putts. I needed to work on my putting, but I think I've hit too many now. I'm trying to get to that 10,000 hours to have mastered something, and I can't be far off now." (greatbritainhockey.co.uk, 22 Apr 2021)
