Success at the highest level often comes down to the choices made long before the spotlight arrives.
In this episode of Game On with Grace, Grace Hayden sits down with Laura Wolvaardt, captain of the South African women's cricket team, to discuss the life-changing decision to choose cricket over medical school and the journey that followed.
From making her international debut at just 16 years old to leading her country on the sport's biggest stages, Laura reflects on the challenges of growing up in elite cricket, the responsibilities of captaincy, and the lessons learned through both success and disappointment.
It's a thoughtful and engaging conversation about ambition, resilience, leadership, and what it takes to perform at the highest level while staying true to yourself.
