One of the main things I said in my job interview was that I want to develop female coaches.

I'm going to prove I can coach in the women's game and prove I can manage an England team to success.

I had a good football intelligence. I didn't need 10 games to get used to a position. I could go out and do a job.

From facing a manager for the past 16 years to suddenly being the one person everyone is looking at is a daunting prospect. It's something I want to be prepared for. If I get the opportunity, I don't want to let myself down.

I went to a football school, which meant that I went to a university that served up education and was simultaneously operating a sports franchise.

I'm thankful for the experience and to be able to coach other young people on their journey through college football. It's a privilege.

People wonder why I smile a lot. It is because I am doing what I love best: to play football for people who love me. It makes me happy.

It's been one of those things where anybody that's played a sport at the professional level, there's always a lot of challenges. And the one thing that's always been a constant for me is Jesus Christ and my faith - and just knowing that my walk with Christ is steadily going up.
