"Spending time with loved ones. Time is such a precious thing."

"I expect standards from the group, I see myself as the driver, because I am so competitive, you have to keep pushing to be better year in, year out."

"We are not robots. We need time to recover, to perform for the fans."

"You can’t be predictable, having the freedom to recognise and assess different options rather than being robots and sticking to strict plans is super important in our development."

"The memory gives you motivation and that little bit of fire inside when you need it."

"Just seeing smiles on people's faces and cheering, whether it be a tackle, a goal, the end or the start of the game. As a player, what more could you wish for?"

"That's why the fans are vital to us. That's why it's important after the games to embrace them and to get that connection because we need them in every game."

"It’s important for young girls to see the sport succeeding. They can actually say, ‘I’m gonna be a pro-footballer.’"

"I went through school with people thinking negatively of me for playing football with the boys. I wasn’t scared to be different."
