Kaitlyn Clark experienced doubts about her football abilities due to her visual impairment, strabismus, but was motivated by Hannah Hampton's achievements. Despite being deemed not good enough by scouts, Clark pursued her passion and joined the Women's Blind Football Team. At 20, she reflected on how football transformed her life and offered her a sense of purpose. After receiving an invitation to trial for England, she was overwhelmed with joy and pride to play for her country, illustrating her determination to succeed despite challenges.
"Football has been a massive part of my life over the last 10 years. Hannah shows that you can reach the highest level even with a disability. She's an inspiration to never stop dreaming."
"It was quite shocking; I'd always been rejected by teams and then England come knocking on your door. It was overwhelming. You're a little girl from Southampton kicking a ball around to playing for your home country."
