Ellie Carpenter Quotes

The bigger you get, the more criticism you get.

It's great to see women's clubs doing so well.

If I didn't start with the boys I don't think I would be the player I am today. I had to be stronger and faster, otherwise you couldn't keep up.

I wanted to be out of my comfort zone and be pushed, mentally, physically on the field.

Playing with the boys definitely helped me physically.

Those crowds just show how far women's football has come.

I don't really listen to outside noise.

Football is also a sacrifice. I realised nothing really comes easy. I didn't really have much of a social life, or friends you would say.

I played with them until I was 12 or so and I say to young girls these days to try and stay with the boys as long as you can.
