I’ve been trying to encourage both boys and girls to get involved in football. There are so many life skills you can learn from football… I want kids to understand the game is for everybody.

I hope people will look at women’s football as the norm.

We all have fears. And it takes a lot to be brave, be confident, and talk about it. And you never know what it may lead to.

It's looking positive, but it's probably a similar thing with both the men and women's team, they need to have a stronger mentality of knowing they have to win.

There are many things you can get out of football that you can take into the world of work.

How that will inspire so many young girls and boys to talk about women's football and make it the norm.
