Available for over a year

Former Australian international Amy Steel says environmental change had a drastic, life changing effect on her health. The 34-year-old suffered heatstroke during a pre-season friendly in 2016 and she told Sportshour’s Caroline Barker how she had been affected physically, and how climate change had contributed to her retirement.
