Fiona Crackles: Lessons on hard work, confidence and self-belief

Fiona Crackles is just 21 years of age. She's already won an Olympic bronze medal.  

A keen hockey player from a young age, Fiona proved herself at school where she rose up the ranks to captain the GB Women's U18 squad. 

Not long after that, she found herself studying at Durham University where she was able to further her hockey skills whilst balancing her degree to soon become the captain of the Women's 1s.  

It wasn't long before she was picked out by the Senior GB Squad at a time when many of their players were injured. However, during this time, Fiona proved herself to be an incredibly valuable asset to the team and was invited to Tokyo with the squad for the 2020 Olympic Games.
