31: Sophie Devine (NZ sporting legend- Cricket AND hockey)

Sophie Devine is pretty much NZ sporting royalty (She will squirm big time at that sentence!).

She’s played hockey for NZ and she is currently the captain of the White Ferns cricket team. She made her first class debut at 14 and has been in the national side since she was 17 (she’s 32 now).

She’s a bloody laugh and I loved our chat. She was 100% open and honest about a terrifying breakdown she experienced that saw her walk away from the game she loves until she felt ready to return. We also talk about living with diabetes, her really-reaaly long distance relationship, playing in all boys teams as a kid and loads more.

Theres a fair bit of cricket chat in here. But shes such a good story teller that it is all pretty good stuff.
