10. The Help Side - Eva de Goede - Part B

#TheHelpSide Welcome to the Part B of a two-part The Help Side special with reigning FIH Women’s Player of the Year, Eva de Goede. Few teams have dominated a sport to the extent that the Dutch national team have dominated the women’s game since their Olympics Gold in 2008 and Eva has been there for every major moment along the way. A two-time FIH World Player of the Year, Eva has arguably the most impressive hockey resume of any current hockey player. Boasting over 230 internationals, Eva has incredibly lost only two games across three World Cups and three Olympics in her career. 

In this episode we talk about the Rio 2016 Olympics, what's it's like to be captain of the Dutch national team and some of the things Eva learnt from taking a year away from the sport. The results of that break were pretty remarkable with de Goede being crowned the FIH Women's Player of the Year twice after her return. Talk about a good sabbatical.
