"At training or on the field of play it is not so much an issue because football language is universal, and I understand most words. The main challenge is when I have to converse with my teammates off the field, but I am getting there."

"It depends on the coach. Every player and every coach has their own preference. So, if the coach prefers a certain player you wont make the team. In South Africa when you reach 30, they think you are old."

"I believe if you mix new and experienced players it makes a good team. Younger players have energy and experienced players have the experience to build."

"I am very happy with the way the world is paying attention to women in the game of football."

"My love for football goes beyond just playing the game to the best of my ability. I love all facets of the game and being a coach excites me. While I was abroad, I had the privilege of interacting with several people who broadened my holistic understanding of the game. My journey thus far as a coach has been an interesting one because it has opened my eyes to several ideas about what goes on before, during and after the game."

"It’s always a good feeling when you have a positive impact on the outcome of a game."
