During the holidays, professional players would come and say hello to us in the academy and that really made you want to be a professional. When you saw what great conditions they lived in, it gave you even more desire.

I've learnt to adapt on the pitch and, when I think back, also in front of goal.

I am working very hard at training to improve my efficiency, to be more clinical in front of goal.

Our country craves for the trophy of the African Cup of Nations. I am craving for such a trophy in my career.

I've never thrown a javelin. What kind of sport is that? It's hilarious.

When I first started designing sportswear, I felt that women weren't represented in sports performance. I felt that men were dressed really well both technically and visually, and women were almost like an afterthought.

I want to settle down and start an academy in a rural area, because I feel that's where most champions come from. If you have everything in life, why would you wake up at 3:30 A.M. to train? I feel there's a lot of talent that goes untapped there, especially in women sports.

I turned 7 in 1973 and remember Bobby Riggs arriving at the Astrodome on a chariot pulled by showgirls before his 'battle of the sexes' tennis match against Billie Jean King.
