Craig Daniel Parnham (born 13 July 1973[1] in ) is an English field hockey defender and coach. He represented Great Britain in two Summer Olympics in 2000 and 2004.

Biography

[edit]

Parnham played club hockey for Cannock in the Men's England Hockey League after being signed from Stourport Hockey Club in 1996. He made his debut for Great Britain in 2000,[2] shortly before being included in the team for the 2000 Summer Olympics.[1][3]

The following year he made his debut for England,[4] where he was appointed captain.[1]

He sustained a serious throat injury in August 2001, when he was caught in the throat by a flying stick while playing for England against Pakistan in Malaysia. Parnham was put into intensive care and surgeons considered a tracheotomy before deciding that an operation was required on his larynx.[1][5][4]

Still at Cannock, he represented England at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester[6][7] and at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Parnham represented Great Britain for his second Olympics.[2][8] In total, Parnham won 64 caps for Great Britain and 51 for England.

He is now a coach, and has taken the Great Britain women's team to the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. In January 2013 he was appointed head coach of the USA Women's National Team,[9] a position he held until the end of 2016.[10]
