Meet Katie Mullan…

Welcome to Sport Inspires, a podcast recorded with the Mary Peters Trust and made possible by the Coca-cola Thank you Fund.

Today’s episode is with Irish Hockey Captain Katie Mullan, the Coleraine player leading the team to their first-ever Olympic Games.

Along the way myself and Gold Medalist Lady Mary Peters ask about :

  • The role team spirit has played in their success

  • What it was like to win a silver medal in the world cup while being ranked 15th

  • And how they’ve been training through lockdown to become the first women’s team in history to take home an Olympic medal in just a few weeks times.

Thanks so much for being here and we really hope you enjoy.
