Ada Hegerberg

If you want to get anywhere in life, you have to make choices.

On the pitch, I can be really fearless. It's all about performing, and I forget about everything else. When I step off, in real life, I can be a different person. I can feel vulnerable sometimes.

I remember, when I was young, I had idols who inspired me to go for my dreams, and I just want to give the same back.

We work just as hard as any footballer, period. We go through the same experiences and heartaches. We make the same sacrifices. We leave our families behind to chase our dreams, too.

I know what I want and know my values, and therefore, it's easy to take hard choices when you know what the ambitions are and what values you stand for, so it's all about staying true to yourself, be yourself.

When you're quite sure about yourself and the values and where you want to go, it's easy to make difficult choices.

That's the great thing with Lyon: we are such a competitive group of players, but we know each other so well, so what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.

I think more about preparation than numbers. If I'm well prepared, there will be results.

I come from a little town of 7,000 people, and everyone in my family played football.

You can only have a short sight because things change a lot. You can't plan what the years will bring.

Football is the biggest sport in Norway for girls and has been for years, but at the same time, girls don't have the same opportunities as the boys.

I don't think too much about how many goals I'm going to target. I work really hard and prepare really well for the season to come... I know when I'm well prepared, when I've worked hard, the results will come.
