The heroic performance from the England Women’s hockey team in the Commonwealth Games is still very fresh in our minds. Laura Unsworth was again integral in helping the side clinch Gold for the first time in England’s Commonwealth history and what a special place to do it, in her home city, Birmingham. Please enjoy this episode where Paul talks to Laura about what it takes to be an Olympic and now, a Commonwealth champion…

In a change from the usual investment and business related conversations, this week I was fortunate enough to talk to Laura Unsworth MBE about her journey in becoming GB’s most successful ever Olympic hockey player. In an international career spanning 14 years she has accumulated over 280 caps for England and Great Britain. She explains how they have built a successful culture within the GB team over many years, the importance of preparation in achieving their goals, building personal resolve in difficult times and how she tries to lead from the front.
