5. The Help Side - Rachael Lynch

#TheHelpSide Nurse, business owner, mental health ambassador, Australian hockey player, shoot-out beast and FIH World Goalkeeper of the Year. These are just some of the ways to describe star goalkeeper Rachael Lynch. After debuting in 2006, Rach has played a whopping 223 games for the Hockeyroos, a statistic that includes appearances at three World Cups, five Champions Trophies, three Commonwealth Games and the Rio Olympic Games. Playing arguably the most competitive position on the field, over the next hour or so, Lynchy will give us a goalkeepers take on competing at the highest level, and all that entails. 
With 14 years of experience, Rach has seen almost all there is to see over her stellar career with the Hockeyroos. From the ordeal of missing two Olympic selections to being crowned World Goalkeeper of the Year, you’ll find Rach has learned an incredible amount over her journey that started with a 12-year-old basketball-playing tomboy from Melbourne. 
We’re very lucky that Rach shares those lessons with us in a very candid manner, along with some of her goalkeeping secrets to being the best in the world.
