And then I went to a tournament with rugby and it was down south somewhere.
It was called Sainsbury's School Games.
And suddenly everybody was really good.
And I was like, wow, this is incredible.
You know, I'm playing with people that I've heard of through the system that are meant to be like going on to play for England and stuff.
And suddenly that inspired me that I wanted to do something like that.
The tournament wasn't just a rugby tournament.
It was multi-sport.
So when you finished your game, we'd run over and go watch the athletics or the table tennis.
And for me, that was like a mini Olympics.
And I was suddenly thinking, well, I want to go to the actual Olympics.
And I want to do something like this.
And I ended up going to Hartbury College.
And it broke my parents' heart as a 16-year-old girl saying that I'm moving four hours away.
But I went to Hartwick College and soon after I was brought into the England senior set-up.
And at that point, that's when my football stopped, so you kind of had to.
that's all it was just boys that played it yeah it was and it's definitely changing getting better now and there's more girls getting involved but that was never a barrier for me I think everyone you never felt different or did you feel yes I felt different but I don't think it I don't think that was a bad thing you know I'm
I'm a huge advocate for if you are different, like run with it because people spend their lives trying to do something unique.
Well, yeah, I mean, I didn't know whether it was different that I was a girl or different because I was the only one scoring tries.
So I didn't know which one it was.
