Esther Gonzalez, a remarkable 32-year-old striker, has achieved significant milestones in her soccer career, including winning the World Cup and multiple league championships. Growing up in southern Spain, she faced numerous obstacles in pursuing her dream of becoming a soccer player, particularly due to the lack of visibility and opportunities for women in sports. Her journey included playing soccer with local boys and enduring long trips to training. Gonzalez now highlights the changes in mentality and visibility for women's soccer in Spain, celebrating her role in this transformative era for aspiring female athletes.
I feel lucky because I am part of that transition, because I have lived the part from when, let's say, we had almost no opportunities to live.
The change in mentality that took place in Spain was incredible, because until about five years ago the visibility we had was very low.
