This is a sensible answer from a very talented player who is not full of her own importance

I have to say that this is a wicked article, I think that this site does an awesome job of obtaining very interesting information. I think that if more young people could see this site, they would want to play field hockey at an elite level. Keep up the wicked work guys!!!

development
it would be good to hear more from players who have trained and played overseas regarding anything at any level e.g. recruiting,admin,junior development,junior umpiring,marketing,tactics that they do differently so we can evaluate in depth

Its a shame Alyson doesn't play Soccer, can you imagine how many soccer players would be left if all the players based over seas, had to turn up for the Nationals to be selected in the Australian side, they wouldn't have any players, are the selectors still in the dark ages or what not selecting a lady of this talent, they definately need her, what do you say???????

Surprized I have not noticed this topic before...
There is not a conspiricy, likes or dislikes of Alyson as a player from Aust or coach or anyone else. To be selected to play for Aust, one of the criteria is that you play in a Hockey Aust nationals, in Alysons case our National Hockey League. It was Alysons choice not to leave Holland to participate in this competition, knowing full well the consequences. She chose this option. Her reasons are hers alone. Since she was around 15, all she did was play hockey and strive to be the best. She has achieved her Gold Medals, and perhaps needed a change in her life. Whatever her reasons are we must respect them - as they are hers and hers alone.
There have been interesting debates on other forums about the structure of selection criteria in Aust. One of the reasons our players have to play in a national competition, is to keep the standard of our own nationals as high as possible. If all our Aust players left and played overseas, this standard would drop. Unfortunately our game is not the same as soccer. And in Aust soccer has its own issues with overseas players, just annoucing that ALL players with have to pledge allegience with the national team OVER their club teams to be in contention for selection. Food for thought...

I agree hugely with the comment Alyson made about getting more people out there watching hockey. I am a 17 year old club and county player and just so want there to be more people out there playing. Hockey is my passion and I think the standard of play in Britain and around the world will only improve as more people are given the opportunity to watch the wonderful game and appreciate it. I think that promoting the sport to kids in schools from a young age is the way forward. In my club, we have a junior section of at least 50 U-16 and two active sport groups of at least 30 each (7-13). I think that this is wonderful, but we need to get more people playing the game.
By the way, I thought that this article was great, we need more role models in hockey, and Alyson is one!

She is good...
but sometimes she says some stupids words, criticazing Cecilia Rognoni and sOledad Garcia.
However, she was a brilliant player.

Potty... what did Alyson do. She trained, and trained and trained and yes more training. Ever spare moment she was out there practicing. She was noticed by a brilliant individual who recognised her talent and did everything in her power to get Alyson where she wanted to be. Thank you Beth.
Alyson was tough on herself and others, and this toughness pushed her to spent EVERY afternoon training her skills, always trying for the next 'trick' or skill she thought she should have. It was a combination of this dedication, her ambition, and her natural skill that got her to the top.
So next time you are feeling tired, or want to go the the shopping centre/mall with your friends - think of Alyson. And train!
