“I care very deeply about Underwater Hockey as a sport because of what it has given me personally, and I have a great respect for the sacrifices players make to play at the highest level.

I'd like to increase the SG Women's Underwater Hockey team's competitiveness internationally, by giving them the skills and game strategies they need to become more confident players, by instilling in them the determination needed on their journey to become the best that they can be and by maximizing competition exposure.”
