We were very lucky to hear some inspirational words from the Olympian Samantha Charlton. She related her story of her journey to no less than three Olympics (as well as many other competitions) representing NZ in hockey.
It was very refreshing to hear how it was not all gold medals and success! In fact, her message was one of perseverance and determination rather than victory, though her team did manage to get gold in the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. She never gave up, even after multiple attempts to unsuccessfully join the team. We also heard about the Olympic Values of Friendship, Respect, and Excellence.
