What it takes to be an Australian Hockey Player!
hi guys,
yeah it would be pretty awesome to play hockey for Australia!
But it doesn't come easy!
Training is a requirement! The team trains 3-4 times a week, with a game on the weekend. Training sessions are generally 1-2 hours in long, the intensity of the sessions reduce closser to the weekend, due to competitions! Some trainings include; Cross training sessions such as resistance training, flexibility, speed and endurance.
Hockey is not a professional sport, that means that most of these players also have a full time job! Being this busy, sometimes you forget to do things, such as eating! Though it is very important for an elite athlete to eat proper nutritional food!
Most of this might sound pretty bad, though to have the privilage to represent your country, to walk out onto the field with the great green and gold uniform, reminds you of how special this really is!

Umpires :)
Umpires are very important in the game of hockey!
They run the game and make sure that all fouls are picked up.
When the game gets out of control the umpire is there to get it back on track!
Did you know International Umpires get paid more money than an Australian Hockey player!
