Quotes We have learnt that there's a much quicker way of moving the football, we learnt not to give the ball too much. Consistency is very important, it builds the team's confidence. Lelona Daweti hoping USA learnings will help Sundowns Ladies SABC Sport (24 August 2024) My football career started at the age of 13. I was very hyped and excited for football, playing for the national team and my team. I was just enjoying the fact that I’m playing football. I faced many people that always told me football is not for girls, but it’s not about that, it’s about what I love. Every dream has its challenges, and those challenges build you. It’s always about how you get up. Every girl has to be strong and push forward, never listen to any negativity. People will hate and love, you must face it all. That’s life, it’s never easy. Growing up in a small town, I never had small dreams. Only big targets and destinations! I always dream big. To young girls, you should not try to be someone else. You do not what people go through to be who they are. Do not listen to people saying, ‘you cannot do it’. Only you can decide that!
