Summary
In this week’s bitesize clip GB’s most capped hockey player talks to Jake and Damian about the crushing feeling of being dropped from the England U16 team and the advice her mum gave her - “what are you going to do about it?”
Kate was captain of GB women’s hockey teams for 13 years and was one of the many key drivers of the incredible team ethos and commitment that drove the GB team to a nail biting victory at the Rio Olympic Games. One of UK's greatest Olympic moments of all time. Kate also made history in other ways, becoming one half of the first same-sex married couple to win an Olympic medal playing in the same team.
