Roar

A Celebration of Great Sporting Women Sam Quek

Roar champions the ascendance of female sport and digs deeper into the lives of her sporting heroines – from Sarah Storey to Paula Radcliffe.

Featuring a series of candid interviews from some of sport’s most successful women, Sam lifts the lid on what it takes to reach those heights: from coping with puberty to foregoing teenage fun to pursue a dream; from the punishing physical training schedule to the mental power needed to win or bounce back from defeat; from the pressure of the media spotlight to the challenge of competing as a new mother. And what it feels like when you step up to the podium knowing every sacrifice has been worth it. An inspiring look at how sport can change lives and challenge society.

Sam Quek MBE is an internationally successful hockey player, who was part of the gold-medal-winning women’s team at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Sam is now a full-time presenter of the BBC’s daytime TV show Morning Live, and in 2021 became a team captain on A Question of Sport.
