It's a goalkeeper's job. There's so many times you're doing nothing for 89, 90 minutes, and then there's a split-second moment. It's a different challenge to outfield players, who have a lot of physical challenges and battle. We have a lot of mental battles; it's about maintaining your focus, refining processes of what you do in a game.
There's no point going to a tournament if you don't want to win.
Everybody wants to score. It's a great feeling. But making saves is a great feeling as well.
I want to carry on improving and learning.
I like to eat healthily and feel like I'm putting good fuel in my body, although I do allow some tasty treats once in a while.
Every time I step onto the field, I think of my parents. It's such an honor to represent them and my family.
My teammates always have my back on the field, and I will do everything in my power to make sure I always have theirs.
There's no pressure on a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout. So it's a nice opportunity for us to have some fun and try and make some saves.
I don't think there's any reason why girl goalkeepers cannot train alongside the boys in academies. We have done it in the past. But health and safety have stepped in and stopped us. It may be there were child protection regulations to observe.
To build more interest in goalkeeping, we have to change how people think and report on goalkeepers. You are not just there to keep the ball out of the back of the net: you are there to impact the back four, to organise the team, essentially lead from the back. It is a really pivotal position.
I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Graphic Design, and all in all, I can look back on my collegiate experience and say that I really did enjoy myself.
I've seen my share of bad goalkeeping, and I've had my moments. But I've seen some excellent goalkeeping as well.
What goalkeeper doesn't like a little action?
Every minute I'm on the field, I'm out there playing for my team, and the success of our team is what is most important to me.
My goal has never been to see how many stats I can rack up.
I trained with some great keepers at college, alongside full-grown men, and it helped me 100%.
The only technical difference you will find is, if you are keeping goal as a male, they will play a bit further out, but set positions are the same, and techniques are constantly evolving.
I don't see why people can't praise when they see something done well - even if it is by a woman.
You take the opportunities when you get them, and you try to see if there's any cues the opposition gives you, but more important is focusing on your own process, trusting your instincts, and being decisive.
You'll do anything to keep the ball out.
