This beautiful woman is a woman I hold near and dear to my heart. My Grandma
My grandma name was Phoebe Bradshaw who sadly passed away in 2015. She is the whole purpose behind the creation of PN Athletica and my drive to chase my dreams.
She was a very large part of my life, someone who I always looked up to and always gravitated towards at any given day. She was the greatest role model a young girl could ask for, with advice, how to present yourself, professionalism, and how to be the greatest sports woman you could be. She was not only my grandma, she was my best friend, my motivator, my inspiration and most importantly my hero.
Throughout this collection you will see a number of details designed about her life. On all of the garments you will see the numbers 1950. My grandma had a very successful sporting career at any sport she did. However, hockey was THE sport for her. She worked so hard and was selected in the first ever Olympic Hockey Team, in 1950.
On the back of the Tees you will also notice a quote on the back. This quote is such an important quote in my life and is also a quote my grandma would always say to us that has stuck with me forever. This quote helped me dig deep and represent my country, this quote helped me dig deep to be where I am today in my own sporting career. She would say:
“When you feel like you have nothing left in the tank, dig deeper and finish it off”
