Akasha

I love football. I’ve been playing it since I was 7. I used to see the people that run on the pitch to help the players when they got injured and think they don’t get enough praise. I want to be a Physiotherapist one day. I learnt the hard way how important it is to listen to the professionals. I had an injury and I didn’t rest it for long enough – I returned to football to soon and made it worse. Growing up in Guyana, I’m grateful for how many opportunities I have here. That’s why I have high expectations for myself. I want to show my family what you can achieve if you work hard – that is my daily motivation.
