"Football is the thing I love the most and it's what I have put the most time into. I rest so well, I sleep every afternoon and I would never do anything before training or a game that would affect how I play."
"People don't know how much effort I actually put in when they say 'Oh, she's not a footballer'. But now, I'm fine. I love my life and the people around me and I don't get affected by it."
"I hope to use my social media platform to build the profile of women's football and bring the game to a new audience."
