Sport Spotlight: Field Hockey with Rachel Bullis

More Than My Stats

In this sixth episode of Sport Spotlight Taylor Bullis (on IG @taylormbullis) joins us to answer commonly asked questions for beginners who want to start watching Field Hockey in the Olympics! One super interesting thing is where in the US, only women's field hockey is an option- the rest of the world has field hockey as a male dominated sport. I'm super glad Taylor joined us to explain the rules so we could better understand as we watch Field Hockey this year! She discusses various field hockey terminology, rules, and what to look for at the 2020 Olympics!
