Sporting hero? It would have to be somebody like Jamie Roberts (Welsh rugby internationalist) who has manged to finish his medical degree whilst performing at the top of his sporting career. I think it is inspiring that he has been able to find the balance between his sporting and studying/working life. I hope to be able to do this through my hockey career.
