Constanza Palma: What efforts do you have to do to play for the Chilean National Team?

“My name is Constanza Palma, I am 24 years old and I play for the National Team of Chile. I started playing hockey at a young age because my whole family plays the sport. I wasn’t very good when I started but thanks to my training discipline and good habits, I was able to reach this level.”

“Training and playing for the national team in Chile is very hard, as in many countries hockey is a professional sport but here is not. In addition to the training routine I have to study and work, however when I put on the Chilean jersey, when step into the field with all my teammates and when the national anthem plays, I realise that all the effort is worthy.”

“I train hard every day seeking constant improvement, and in my personal case I do it to become the best hockey player that I can be.”
