From Buckingham to Beeston, teen aims high on Olympic hockey dream at 14

At just 14 years old, Bella Hinde-Smith already has her sights set on the 2028 Olympics. But what initially seems like a youthful wild dream instantly becomes a credible aspiration when you assess what she has already achieved.

From being called-up to England U16s three years early, to training with Premier Division sides, Bella certainly seems to have a bright future ahead.

Starting out at Thame Hockey Club, where her mum coached the juniors, her friends at the time all played hockey, so it seemed natural for Bella to do the same.
