Hi, my name is Elenor Lewis. Although no one really calls me that, I'm just known as Ellie.
This is what I look like:

I am a winger and currently play for arsenal u19s and also england u19s. Even though I play for the u19s, I am actually only 18. Yes, it's possible to get a professional contract at 18, but it is very rare and doesn't happen often.
At the moment I live in a very small apartment with my best friend and teammate Ruby Walker. We have both been in the academy together since we were about 12 so we've known each other a long time and we've always been best mates. We live very close to the training ground and pitch so it is very easy for us to get to training and back everyday. The arsenal first team's training ground also isn't too far away, about a 45 minute drive.
I've pretty much always lived in london. It's where me and the majority of my family are from. I love it. Since I have always lived here, it means I can see my family a lot and I'm super close with them all. Especially my younger sister, India. Even though she is only 5, we have always been super close. I also have an older brother, Ben, but he goes to college so we don't see him as much anymore. We are actually closer in age being only 2 years apart but I've still always been a bit closer with India.
I also have a boyfriend, Luke, who plays for arsenal men's u20s. Since we both play for arsenal we see each other all the time and sometimes we go to training together. If I can I go to his matches and if he can he comes to mine. It's actually really nice to have a boyfriend who completely understands your lifestyle.
Oh, and I play piano. I don't make music or write songs or anything, god no. I just do it for fun. My mum signed me up for lessons when I was younger but I never liked the teacher so I didn't really like going. But one year for Christmas mum and da bought me my own little keyboard to have at home - and I still use that keyboard to this day. Ever since then, I am completely self taught. It's like my escape from everything.
I train from Monday to Thursday with Arsenal, I sometimes have a 1 on 1 session on Fridays, and then I have a game usually on either a Saturday or a Sunday.
So my life completely revolves around football, but I love it.
