Athlete

You've got to be fit to box. In football, if you need a breather, your team-mate can take over. There's no one in the ring to help out.

I just want to be at the best place possible to ensure that I really kick on in my career, that I constantly have challenges, because in football, you don't have long. It's easy to become complacent when game time comes so easily, and you're doing so well.

As long as I can keep one child off the streets or change one child's life for the better, then that's enough for me.

Every time I step onto the pitch for England, I feel great pride. I want to keep working hard to stay in the starting XI and push on to win trophies.

When I step up to that penalty spot, I know the consequences. They're the same whether I miss the first, second, third - or the 10th - it will be the same.

I'm the one who is always bantering. Millie Bright and Rach Daly are pretty bad. Jill Scott is up there, too, but I'm probably the one who initiates it all, and people come back at me.

The pride you feel when you represent your country, not to mention scoring, is something you can't really explain. It's massive.

Completing my degree in Sports Development at Liverpool's John Moores University while being full-time at Manchester City is one of my greatest achievements.

We played out on the street every single day as a family, with neighbours, at the community centres, and I developed the desire to win very early. That environment instilled a competitive edge in me, which has paid dividends in my life.

Toxeth made me who I am today - it is a great area.

Me and fellow scouser Toni Duggan are a double act. We are always pre-planning some sort of practical joke.

When Olympique Lyon come in for you, it's not a team you turn down.

To me, it's just another game of football - 11 players, a grass pitch. Regardless what shirt I have on, it's important you win the game, and I'm competitive as anyone, and I want to win every game, whether it's a Sunday league game, a five-a-side tournament, or a World Cup qualifier.

Being the best is:applying yourself to your potential, putting out the best version of yourself.

When you step up and take a penalty, it's 50/50 - but you've got to back yourself.

You have to sacrifice time with your family, your time as a teenager. You don't experience life like any other, outside of football. When you go to uni, you can't live the uni lifestyle. But I've never, ever thought about quitting football.

I would love to have been a tennis player simply because of Serena Williams.

When I came into football, my whole identity was to be one of the best players in the world, if not the best player, and for me, that is what is driving me each and every day.

Playing at the Women's World Cup is my long-term goal and, hopefully, I can contribute to winning a medal.

I was pretty wild as a kid. Football tamed me. It put me on the right path, got me focused.
