I feel that when I am calm I am strong and at my best.
There are so many things that we've been conditioned to believe 'that's what happens.' A woman walks down the street and she accepts certain things happen because that's just the way of the world. We can change it. That's up to us. I'm trying. I'm doing my bit.
I've got loads of inspirational people I've always looked up to, really strong women, who don't necessarily play football. I didn't want to be them, and I didn't want to do what they did. But they still inspired me to be me.
My family are very sporty people and then when I was younger, I had a love for Thierry Henry at Arsenal and Kelly Smith so that was kind of the dream.
For every success that we have, for every change of judgement or perception or opening eyes of someone who views a women as somebody with the potential to be equal to her male counterpart, I think that makes change in society. I think that is a powerful message.
I feel that when I am calm I am strong and at my best.
