Sam Quek: Hope and a Hockey Stick

Sam Quek is mainly known for her starring role in the 2016 Olympic gold medal winning hockey team.

This was the first time a British ladies team had won gold, but what is much less known is that Sam's rise to the top of her spot was far from easy.

Sam missed out on being part of Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics but competed for England at the 2013 EuroHockey tournament and 2014 Commonwealth Games, which she won silver medals.

She won the gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics after the GB hockey team beat the Netherlands on penalties.

How Sam overcame the bitter disappointment of being overlooked for the two previous Olympics and ensured that she wouldn't miss out again are revealed here for the first time.

She also tells of her tough childhood and her battle to reach the heights that she has.
