Next year will be tough, and I want to be honest about that. We’re losing a lot of experienced players, which means we’ll be rebuilding skills, confidence and chemistry from within. But I also believe this is a rare opportunity: not just to “fill gaps”, but to grow into a team that’s stronger because more people step up, take ownership, and develop together.
Next year will be my third year in this society, and this season has taught me the most. Through training, tournaments, and simply spending time with the squad, I’ve come to understand what different players bring: their strengths, their personalities, what motivates them, and what support they need. I see my strength as a captain being that I can listen, communicate well with everyone and coordinate effectively across different styles and levels. In terms of technical skills, I believe there is still considerable room for improvement. However, following this year's training in particular, I feel I have gained a general understanding of the overall movement awareness on the pitch and how the team should operates. But I also care deeply about what happens off the field. Competition matters, but so does the culture we create. I want our women’s team, and our community to feel like a place people genuinely want to be in: where you feel seen, supported, and would encourage your friends to join. So I will set the main thread for next year as growth: growth in performance, in leadership, and in how we show up for each other.
