Leah Brown host of The Longest Day Podcast interviews Leah Wilkinson, British Olympic hockey player, on not being selected to be on the 2012 GB Olympic team.
They discuss their formative years at Repton and what it looks like to navigate an uncharted path. In addition to supportive parents and colleagues, in her longest days Leah has herself to rely on. Her skills of how to bounce back, having resilience and grit, and being able to self-talk with positive reflections has meant she has kept going forwards to succeed.
Leah first fell in love with hockey when she was five. It is the love of the game that has enabled her to focus on why shes there, to be the best athlete, and to give her best performance. At 37 years old, she says fundamentally, Im still that five-year-old kid that picked up that hockey stick[with a] buzz when I get to the pitch. For her, its that passion that makes a person, forgive the pun, stick with the sport.
As Leah speaks to children and shows them her medals, she wants her legacy as a decorated Olympic and Commonwealth Games athlete to be to inspire the next generation to pick up a hockey stick. In her talks, she shares what she has learned so they can be inspired to do anything and follow their dreams!
