Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario talks about learning field hockey for her role as Spencer:
“What’s the most exciting part about being an actress?” Troian Bellisario (Spencer Hastings) : Getting to do things that I wouldn’t normally get to do. Just for Spencer, I had to learn field hockey. I’d never played field hockey in my life, because I’m from the West Coast and we don’t really have it out here. But I love learning new things. I hadn’t played tennis since I was a little kid and they were like, “We have you playing tennis, so let’s go get you some tennis lessons again!” and it’s so nice to have all of these opportunities to be somebody else every day. That’s why I do it.

‎”People don’t play field hockey because its fun. Ask any field hockey player, maybe they hate it, but they couldn’t imagine their life without it. It’s part of them, the love/hate relationship. It’s what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long bus rides, invitationals, countless pairs of different types of sticks, water, Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way it feels when they beat the other team, and knowing those two extra sprints they ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way they become a family with their team, they live for the countless songs they sing in their head while training all those hours. They live for the competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories, the pain, it’s who they are. It’s who I am.”
