When this player's hijab started falling off to reveal her hair, her opponents gathered around to provide cover while she fixed it.
This is our mood today.
When one of us needs us:
We stop. We huddle up. We protect each other.
I love the soccer. I love women.

The power of sports. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“In team sports, you learn to share roles and work together towards a common goal, which is a tremendous lesson in the workplace. It increases the possibility that you will be very disciplined and focused, knowing that other people are depending on you.”

Girl, we are cheering you on! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is your loving reminder to also cheer yourself on. 🙋‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being our own cheerleader means we have to accept there will be times where we need a “pick me up.” Being there for ourselves to pick up the pieces when we’re down, or when it seems things are falling apart, is a courageous thing to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So next time you’re putting yourself down, ask yourself: What would I say to motivate my best friend? Then say it to yourself. ❤️

CONFIDENCE. SPORTS. GRIT. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Over the years that followed my "discovery" of running, my self-confidence grew, and feeding off the accomplishments I achieved in sports - setting new personal bests, winning a little local race, surviving the setbacks of injuries and marathons gone wrong - I discovered a capacity within myself that I never knew I had. I wasn't just physically stronger than I expected, I thought of myself as a different person, as someone with more potential, broader horizons, bigger possibilities. I saw that I could push myself and take risks, not just in sports, but elsewhere, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The competition in sports, as in life, was not with someone else, it was with myself. To "compete" was to discover my own potential to do better, to hold my own self to a higher standard, to expect more of myself--and deliver.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

NEW GRIT FORMULA Interview featuring @katycannata.
.
.
.
How do you deal with failure and making mistakes? Did your “gritty moment” force you to learn and grow?
.
.
.
I’m not going to lie, it was a difficult to hear the negative feedback when I was laid off. But it was important for me to realize that I didn’t have to be defined by one person’s opinion. And even though it didn’t change the circumstances. I learned to stand up for myself when I believed I had been treated unjustly. I have always strongly disliked conflict, so this was a significant growth for me. I also began to recognize some of the emotional issues that were holding me back and I began a long process of working on those issues. I don’t know if that work will ever be complete, but the first step was acceptance. Part of that journey is learning to love myself despite my imperfections.”
