Entering as reigning champions brings a sense of confidence and responsibility that influences preparation. England’s success in the past relied heavily on effective substitutes, like Russo and Toone. The upcoming tournament will spotlight fresh talent, particularly Aggie Beever-Jones, whose remarkable scoring record and adaptability have positioned her for impactful performance. Coachability and the ability to integrate new ideas significantly distinguish top players. As the team navigates pressures of being champions, maintaining hunger and evolving strategies will be crucial for success.
I would always rather enter a competition as champions than underdogs because you've got something to hold on to. Once you win, you know what winning looks like.
When you are the holders, the most important thing to get right is your internal hunger and understand you've got a target on your back in every fixture.
England will be looking to newer faces such as Aggie Beever-Jones, Grace Clinton, Niamh Charles and Jess Park, players who can make a difference to change games.
What sets the best from the rest? Coachability, being able to take on ideas, adaptability.
