Access to sports has profoundly shaped who I am as a person, by fostering values like resilience, perseverance, and discipline. It has undoubtedly boosted my confidence, instilled self-belief, and empowered me to chase my dreams. I would not be the woman I am today without sports!  

In the future, I hope to see increased visibility, funding, and widespread recognition for women’s sports, ensuring fair opportunities for all and inspiring future generations. I also hope for continued expansion of participation opportunities at the grassroots and professional levels that promotes a culture where women and girls can thrive athletically.
