    I can't tell you how inspiring Leah is to me and other young women. Honestly, she is such a pure character and I can't even put into words what she means to me

    Miss Williamson would be the first to admit that she is a stranger to most of us . What we see here is the product of good parents that gave their child opportunities and the child made the most of them and with a more than a little determination and self motivation, turned into the stuff of dreams and made her dreams come true . Every successful sports person has a long list of folk that help them achieve there goals. What makes Leah stand out is her ability to relate to woman of all ages, she is so open and honest about her self that we end up questioning our own short comings because she sounds so normal . Who doesn’t want her as a best friend and yes lover . There is so much to be admired but in my humble opinion she is courageous humble and smart . Her talent is unquestionable but there are many others in both the mens and woman’s game that have as much if not more talent but don’t use there stature in the game for good as Leah does. That in its self speaks volumes about the person she is. I’d prefer to meet her and talk Arsenal than many in the mens team because she isn’t a Gooner because she signed for the club , she signed for the club because she is a Gooner . Respect to her . 😊

    I know I am late putting this up but I wanted to say that you ( Leah) and the rest of the girls around the world who play sport managed to convince my school to do a girls football club. The school still isn't perfect because girls aren't allowed to do boxing and 2022 was the first year they taught football to girls in a pe lesson.
    Being a girl who likes sport I struggle in or lessons because all the other girls in my class don't like pe so there is about 5 of us and my PE teacher playing a game/ match while the others just stand around and talk to their friends
    So I just wanted to say thank you.
    I am so greatful.

  • @jessicaaitken8858
    @jessicaaitken8858 Před rokem +1

    I didn’t like her comments about the others girls not being active and then there being insecure about their bodies. Like some people just aren’t into sports and shouldn’t be shamed because they’re not ripped like a soccer player. That was an uncalled for comment. Also, I played sports all through school and trained very hard and never had a “perfect body”, that’s just genetically how I’m built. So even if people are active they can still have insecurities. She’s just lucky that her genetics and activity levels lined up as such that she’s never had to be insecure about her body. Smh Leah

    • @ellamarie3678
      @ellamarie3678 Před rokem +20

      You completely missed her point and that’s okay, it happens. She was saying she wasn’t insecure because sport made her proud of her body because of its STRENGTH, not it’s appearance. If you look for things to get offended at, you’re going to find it. Instead of projecting and misplacing your insecurities and anger, work through your triggers.
