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.

Racing may be a minority sport, but I wouldn't swap it for all the money in the world.

Charles Haley changed the way the Cowboys played football in the 90s. And the reason why I say that is because he was such a dominant force coming off the edge, where it took two and three to block him.

Only one sport can subsume my life at a time.

Teams do not make their debut in the first XI - individuals do - but it is the team that enables the individual to get the best out of himself. Football IQ, I call it, understanding roles and the team structure.
