“Grateful: This is the word that I’ve probably used most during my career, and is the word that I feel explains it best at the end,” she writes.

“My playing career has come to an end, and I am so incredibly grateful for the career that it turned out to be…Through my own resilience and through the guidance of others, I got to live my dreams.”

“I got to become what I wanted and said as a child.”
