I believe that through me being seen, I have the opportunity to showcase the amazing young footballers that I write about, and in turn, learn how to do this more effectively and reach a greater audience. Following the success of events like the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, there has been a remarkable surge in interest of football among young girls. By showcasing local matches, achievements, and personal stories from players, my reports can motivate young girls to participate in sports. Women’s and girls football has historically received less attention than men’s football; however, I am hoping I can help change this narrative by highlighting the achievements of female players. I love the thought of young players reading about themselves through a match report and believing they can do big things.
