Millie Bright reflects on her journey in women's football, highlighting how it has increased her awareness of various struggles faced by individuals. She underscores the significance of having the opportunity to just exist and pursue a passion, whether in sports or beyond. Bright recalls her emotional return to Killamarsh, her hometown, where the local club now boasts a pitch named after her. This development, backed by significant funding for women's football, showcases the impact grassroots initiatives can have on inspiring future generations and keeping community ties strong for players away from home.
When you experience the things we have in the women's game, it does open your eyes to the struggles of others... just to exist and be able to do what you love doing.
That gesture was incredible because we didn't ask for it, Bright says of the pitches named after Lionesses up and down the country... really, really special.
