That commitment has been palpable on the court during games and also in practice where she is known to set the tone and standards for club and country. Always pushing her team-mates hard, she tries to lead by example and regularly succeeds. A pure shooter who can score in a hurry, she is always willing to take the big shot in games and will again be a threat to live up to her nickname of ‘Golden Hand'. Troina played in all the major tournaments and competitions for both club and country and was particularly successful at the 2008 Olympics where she managed to score in double-digits in four of her six games.
