    Au revoir doubt, pressure and fear, bonjour Olympic Games!



    Both Great Britain men's and women's sides have sealed their qualification for the Paris Olympics and in this episode, I reflect on the ups and downs of the qualifying tournaments with a little help from Sarah Jones and Sam Ward, who both bagged vital goals for Great Britain.

    See you in Paris? It's time for the Olympic qualifiers!

    It's been a very long time since The Top of the D podcast put out a new episode but with the teams now drinking in the last chance saloon to book their tickets to the greatest show on earth - the Olympic Games, I decided now would be the perfect time to record an episode once more.



    Great Britain Coach David Ralph, Anna Toman and men's captain David Ames all join me as we assess their chances of punching that all important ticket to the biggest tournament in hockey.

    Brendan Creed: Scooter, social media trolls, podcasting and playing abroad.

    This week I'm lucky enough to be joined by England and Great Britain star Brendan Creed. 
    Brendan is a European and Commonwealth Games bronze medalist and is one of the real characters of the team. A joker on and off the pitch but as I found out, there's plenty more to him than that.

    We talk injury rehab, Olympics, social media trolls, playing abroad and plenty more besides. Enjoy.
