My father and my mother were professional footballers and have also been coaches.

Norway has a great history of women's football, but it's harder now. We've stopped talking about development, and other countries have overtaken us.

It's great that we all talk about investment, but there needs to be action behind it as well. If we don't push for the change for women's football to go in the right direction, then it won't come by itself.

I never saw myself as a women's footballer. Not when I was in my tiny village in Norway. Not when I was suffering in Germany. Not when I finally made it to Lyon.
