Check out part two of our interview with our incredible new hockey signing, Emily Matisons (WA)!
What are you most looking forward to about your US College adventure?
I am looking forward to cherishing every single minute of the journey, (maybe not the flying part, I don’t know how I’ll go with that). I have never travelled before so it will be a little terrifying but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing another part of the world.
Most of all, I have to say, I’m looking forward to doing the things I love, (sport and study) and improving in them… becoming the best possible person, athlete and student I can be.
Where do you hope you are in five years’ time after this experience with NSR?
My dream is to play hockey professionally, ultimately to compete in the Olympics, at the highest level possible. To help other people, to make a positive impact on the world, in any way possible, whether it’s in a professional sense, helping others achieve their goals, or just in random acts.
So I’d say I’d like to be doing these things, or at least working towards achieving them, in 5 years’ time.
That’s quite an inspiring plan, Emily!
