Passionate Player

Story:

I started football quite young just playing for my school team and I loved it! Going into secondary school my confidence dropped massively and I became a very anxious person. I started a Saturday football session and got scouted to go and join Exeter city fc. Since starting up football it’s changed my life, I don’t think I would want to be doing anything else.

Reason for nomination:

I believe that everyone, no matter who or what should get an opportunity in playing football. I don’t think I could see myself doing any other sport. It’s brought happiness into everything I do. What you learn in training and on the pitch playing is not just skills you need to know for football but skills you can take out into the real world as well. I started football because of Chelsea women fc they were my inspirations as they showed everyone that nothing is impossible when you want to win!
My confidence has grown massively as I had to talk to teams mates on the pitch and I’ve completely changed as a person.
