Role models
Rhona Simpson + Teun de Nooijer. "Simmy" was my coach at Giffnock HC, and is defiantly responsible for helping me get to where I am today. Her Olympic achievements really were inspirational to me as I was growing up. Teun de Nooijer is my ultimate favourite athlete! To make 5 Olympic Games representing the Dutch National Team is no mean feat. Phenomenal player!
Superstitions
Before taking a penalty stroke I always spin my stick twice in my hands before taking it ... (and scoring!).
