New Zealand Field Hockey Player Katie Glynn Woke Up With A Headache Today… Because She Got Whacked In The Head By A Stick (Video)

Katie Glynn is a trooper. Not many people can say they got whacked firmly on the head with a field hockey stick and came back in the game to help to help their native country advance to the Olympic gold medal game (the eventually lost to the Netherlands). This video is not easy to stomach — for me, for you and for everyone in the audience at this field hockey semifinal. Watch as she takes one, a big one, for the team.
