I feel extremely privileged to be even training with the team let alone going to games with them. 

The ladies were extremely welcoming when I first started training with them and it helped me settle into the team a lot more due to me being the youngest player on the squad"

On what's most important to you as a football player?

"The most important thing to me as a footballer is to enjoy playing football, but not just that enjoy doing it with my team. 

When I am playing football I always feel like I have to play at my very best, not just for myself but for my team.  

If I am training or playing a football game when I am around my team I am giving 110% as it helps the rest of my team as the positive energy and hard work may rub off on them all. 

I play by the motto or try my very best to there is no I in Team".

On what are the most important factors that you are concentrating on in each training session/game?

"The factors I try to focus on in training and games are to focus on my weaknesses.

It can help develop me into becoming a better player as nobody is perfect we always have things to work on. 

So by improving things I am not so good at it allows me to improve my training and game performance which will not just help me it will be able to help my whole team which is what I always strive to do".
