My idols growing up were Rush, Barnes and Aldridge and I don’t remember the Women’s World Cup even being on TV. But now, this incredible group of women have changed all this. More than ever, it’s so much more than just a game.

Best training day I’ve been on for a very long time. Thanks @ComIntCare for a hugely stimulating and productive day. So many straightforward, non-complicated things we can do at sports events to make the experiences for everyone so much more positive.
