Olympic Gold Medallist visits Wotton under Edge HC

We are excited to welcome former GB International and Olympic gold medallist, Crista Cullen MBE to @Sport Wotton this Sunday (28th January) for a coaching masterclass with our younger players.

Crista had an extensive international hockey career spanning thirteen years, attaining 197 international caps.

Representing England, Crista won a Bronze Medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, 2 x Bronze medals at European Championships (2007, 2011) and a silver at the Champions Trophy in 2012.
Crista retired after winning a Bronze for Great Britain in London 2012, but came out of retirement in 2015 to help the team win GOLD at the Rio Olympics (2016)

We are really pleased that we have been able to realise this opportunity and welcome such a world class athlete, who we hope will inspire and motivate our next generation of budding hockey players.
Themes on the day will include: carrying the ball, shooting, aerials and, as you might expect if you’ve ever seen Crista play…a drag flicking masterclass!

We have been extremely lucky that this event has been mostly sponsored by two local businesses:
• Jason Brady from Brady Contracting Ltd and;
• Knowledge Secure Systems - a local software services company.
Special thanks to Jane Pascoe for co-ordinating this event.
