Ms. Namita Nayyar:
In 2016, you captained the women’s field hockey team to their first gold medal at the Rio Olympics. Tell us about one of the most memorable experience that you may have had at the Olympics.
Ms. Kate Richardson-Walsh:
Being selected for an Olympic Games is a very special honor. In the hockey squad the entire group give all of themselves, selflessly in the pursuit of making the selected team be the very best it can possibly be. This is teamwork at it’s very best. So for me, the most memorable part of an Olympic Games is what comes before! Pulling 31 young women together towards our joint vision to, “Be the difference, Create History, and Inspire the Future” regardless of whether or not each of us an individual would prosper shows ultimate respect and trust. Every single member of our squad was important. Every person in our group had worth and value. Every player and every member of staff contributed to that Gold medal winning moment in Rio. It is this culture and being a member of this squad that I am most proud of.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding hockey players who all are your fans, they shall like to know from you, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in this field?
Ms. Kate Richardson-Walsh:
I would say to all budding hockey players, find your strengths and make them your super strengths. Each of us is different. Some of us our super quick. Other players have fast hands. The great thing about hockey is there is a position and a team for everyone. You can add something positive and bring your strengths to any game. Be you, be the best of you. Whilst you must always work on all aspects of your game. All you can ever do on any given day is work hard and be the best you can. When I was younger I was desperate to be a fast, ‘skillful’, goal providing midfield player. Actually I was best suited to the centre of defence where I could read the game, organise structure and try to stop the opposition from scoring! Once I accepted this as my role and what I could bring to this position I really started to flourish and gain confidence.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
