Linda Motlhalo

"I grew up in a family that was football oriented."

"When I play football, I forget my problems. It is my joy. It is my happiness."

"Pressure is a privilege for me."

"I like being criticised because if I am not being criticized, I get worried because it means that people care."

"Glasgow is my home. I call it my second home."

"I do not only represent my team or just my family, but I also represent kids from back home."

"“It’s very important for us to achieve things and make history for the next generation. When they come here, they must know they can’t take things for granted and need to work for the nation."

"I used to play football with boys before playing with girls."
