London 2012 blog

Whilst on my way to hockey training last Sunday I stopped off at the Get Set London roadshow in Richmond upon Thames. I had no idea what to expect but was really intrigued to find out a little more about The Games. 2012 seems like a long way off but there’s already so much that people can do to get involved. Personally I’ve got my sights set on playing Hockey for Great Britain when the Olympic and Paralympic Games come to London and I was recently fortunate to receive a grant from Sports Aid to help me on my way. I’m currently in the England under 16’s squad so playing 2012 in front of all those crowds would be a dream come true.

At the roadshow I warmed up with some strokes on the rowing machine before testing out my grip strength and heart rate.



I was also photographed by the Richmond & Twickenham Times and had to pose with the Mayor! Luckily the team manager was with me so I managed to get her in the picture too. A quick go at testing my coordination skills on the Batak rounded off my morning before having to leave for a training session. I was certainly warmed up and ready to play after all that rowing! Keep a look out for the roadshow as it continues travelling around London. Definitely worth a visit!
