TORONTO, March 24 /CNW/ - It's no Secret how much preparation, training, hard work and sweat goes into winning a gold medal. Just ask Hockey Canada National Women's Team Forward, Jennifer Botterill. Secret is pleased to announce a partnership with the four-time Olympic medalist and five-time World Champion. In tandem with the partnership, Ms. Botterill will help launch new Secret Clinical Sport Marathon Fresh Scent as well Secret's new 'Inspirations' program that will help Canadian females find the personal strength, sources of inspiration and motivation to realize their dreams.
