Di Jordan (Field Hockey)

This week, WOMENZSPORTS is hyped to share our kōrero with field hockey coach and Masters Black Stick athlete Di Jordan!! Sports journalist and rugby player Alice Soper sits down with Di to chat about starting her masters field hockey career in the 90s, representing New Zealand overseas and reminiscing about wearing the Silver Fern for the first time. Di talks about the importance of having a sport that lasts for life and how removing barriers through player-led design is helping others. Di also shares which Dr. Seuss book she thinks is the best metaphor for sport and for life!Follow us on social @womenzsportsWant to get in touch? https://www.womenzsports.com/aboutDon't forget to rate & review this podcast wherever you're listening!Music by Alex_MakeMusic “Calming In The Sun” from Pixabay Hosted on Acast.
