Hi, I'm Maeva (but you can call me mae). I'm 17 and play for Everton ladies in the WSL. I'm a defender born and raised and have recently received my first call up to the senior lionesses camp. Don't even bother asking if I'm nervous because honestly, I'm shitting. You see, I'm not your average player- this is my first season in the WSL and so everything is so unbelievably new. Not to mention, I'm painfully shy and suffer massively from anxiety- so this could be disastrous.
T-2 days till camp:
- It's t-2 days until I leave and honestly I don't think I can do it. My family are all so excited for me and all I can think is the millions of different ways I'm going to mess this up.
T-1 day till camp:
- Okay, I am all packed and ready to go. I say that with upmost regret because I cannot even fathom the idea that this is soon to be a reality and not some horrible nightmare. I tried telling my mum about how I'm feeling and she told me I was silly and so many girls would kill for this opportunity. But I can't help feeling like this is a massive mistake...
Camp day:
- The dreaded day is upon us. I leave for camp today and I don't know what to do with myself. I know none of the other girls as they are so experienced and I'm only 17 (and none of them play for Everton) so I'm feeling like this could be lonely. I'm trying not to get in my own head but I can't help it. Anyways I'll see you on the other side.
