Charlotte's story: Pursuing her passion on and off the ice

Charlotte started playing ice hockey when she was 11 years old. Fast forward to today and she's balancing life in the Royal Military Police while being captain of her Corps and the Army Women's ice hockey teams.

Thanks to the support available in the Army, Charlotte has been able to continue developing as an athlete, compete at a high level and pursue the sport she loves, all while building a rewarding career. Check out her journey now.

How does the Army support talented athletes?

Charlotte is part of the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS). This scheme helps serving athletes with nutrition, specialised strength and conditioning training and physio – making sure you have the best support to grow as a player.

It also ensures your chain of command can support your training and competition commitments alongside your role.

There are over 100 official Army sports to choose from, you can try something new and enjoy the social side, or even aim for the Olympics.

While ice hockey is a huge part of Charlotte's life, her day job is equally rewarding…
