The Under 16 and Under 14 hockey teams were lucky enough to hear a talk by Helen Richardson Walsh (Great Britain and England Hockey). Helen spoke about her desire to win Olympic medals and the ups and downs of elite sport especially her battle with injury and then the joys of winning gold at the European Championships earlier this year. Team members were able to ask questions and examine at close quarters both the European Championships winner’s gold medal that Helen won with England and the Olympic Bronze medal won by Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic Games. A massive thank you to Helen for giving up her time to inspire the pupils at Gordon’s School.
