Georgie doesn’t see herself going into coaching and will step away from the sport other than spectating.
She said playing at Repton was the point in her life when hockey became “my main priority” under her coach at the time Martin Jones, who was “key to the start of my hockey career and having faith in me”. Georgie, who was honoured with an MBE for her services to hockey in 2017, said: “It was only at that point that suddenly I was like ‘oh wow, if this is a full-time thing maybe I stand a chance here’. I remember when I trialled I was very young at the time, I think I was 19, I never thought I was good enough to get into the senior team.
“The experiences that I’ve had, going to Olympic Games, and the success that we’ve had, I feel incredibly lucky that something that I loved doing I was able to do it to the sort of highest level and play professionally. She picked out Great Britain’s gold medal at the 2016 Olympics as a career highlight, but said the bronze in London 2012 was also “so special because it was a home Olympics and my first.”
