"All I can say is Susannah was excellent! She gave a full and frank account of her journey into intentional hockey, including the low points which showed our girls that it’s not all plain sailing even at that level. She spoke very eloquently, without any visual aids, but never once hesitated or lost her train of thought. The audience were fully engaged with her and were totally fascinated to be hearing a genuine ‘behind the scenes’ account of what it’s like to work for and ultimately win an Olympic gold medal. She was brilliant and I would highly recommend her."
