As a proud South African, I come fully equipped with a passion for sport and a deep love for a good old braai - What you might call a BBQ. These traditions are the spice of my life and have certainly fuelled my competitive spirit.

I've been hooked on hockey for almost 40 years - long enough to remember when shorts were shorter and mullets were in style! For over two decades now, I've been coaching, sharing my love for the game, and doing my best to keep up with players who are quicker than ever.

I'm absolutely buzzing to step in as the Women’s coach at Sonning Hockey Club. I can't wait to roll up my sleeves, hit the pitch, and get the season started with a fantastic group of players. Here's to a season full of great goals, good laughs, and maybe a few post-match celebrations around the Braai!
