On course for Olympic dream
Its been a busy year for one of hockeys rising young talents, David
Beckett. Not only has he been occupied with completing the second year
of his Sport Science course at West Herts College, but much of his spare
time has been taken up with playing hockey for his country.
During his time at College, David was called up to the England hockey
under-18 squad in preparation for the European championships and to the
under-21 ahead of the 2009 Junior World Cup.
Davids ambition is to play in the 2012 Olympics in London and he will
have plenty of opportunity to perfect his skills with a hockey stick in
the meantime, as his next destination is Loughborough University.
