Greta takes us through her early days, when she wasn’t sure she even wanted to attend her first training session, to how she eventually fell in love with the sport, finding it an exhilarating and fun challenge. She talks about the tight-knit community of underwater hockey players, where laughs are never in short supply—even when you're holding your breath at the bottom of the pool.
As an athlete, Greta’s journey has also taken her overseas, where she’s faced the challenge of playing in different international pools, comparing them to New Zealand’s waters. Along the way, she’s picked up new skills and experiences that have shaped her game and perspective.
Greta’s story isn’t just about playing - she’s also passionate about coaching the next generation, sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with young players. She offers insights into the sport’s growth and the joy she gets from helping others discover the magic of underwater hockey.
