From my parents to all the coaches that I have trained under, as well as the players that I have played with, I am grateful for the support that I have always received. I feel people don't realize that we are much ahead of the men's team in terms of FIFA rankings and maybe we don't get enough credit sometimes, but with us participating in more and more international competitions, that will hopefully change.
