Hockey
Not only has the equipment moved on apace, benefiting from the carbon technology we see in tennis rackets, but the accessibility has increased too. My recollection of hockey was playing with wooden sticks on sodden pitches from age 13 to 16, then never having the chance to play again; hockey is now accessible for players from age 5 to 70+. England Hockey's David Faulkner says: "One of our targets is to get 10,000 more adults playing hockey. We have men and women who still aspire to put on an England shirt even if they didn't make it to International level when they were younger - in fact, our over 65's and over 70's hockey teams are world champions."
