Her mother got her interested in the sport. "My mum played when she was younger, so she had a heavy influence. I also had a really good junior set up at a club at home in Derby, and after I went I enjoyed it so much that I just carried on playing." (urusports.com, 01 Feb 2017; thetab.com, 03 Sep 2019)

PLAYING ABROAD
In 2016 she played club hockey in Australia for six months to try and improve her game enough to get into the senior Great Britain squad. "I had decided I wanted to go travelling. I was in the Elite Development Programme squad, which is just below the seniors, and while I wasn't in a rut, I clearly wasn't going to get into the seniors. Plus, travelling and playing in a different country were things I'd always wanted to do. I was actually playing in Australia when the [Great Britain] team won [Olympic] gold in Rio. I think it was about 04:00 or 05:00, and I was watching the match on a small, mini iPad, so to even get the excitement through that was pretty incredible. My mindset switched to, 'I want to be a part of that even more than I already did'. It made me realise how achievable it was with this squad. I was worried that going away had jeopardised the opportunity, but thankfully they remembered me." (investec.com, 07 Apr 2019; urusports.com, 01 Apr 2017)
