00:00When it comes to women's football in TNT, there are a few players that would have got
00:05a chance to live out a life in football until they can hang their thugs and call
00:10it a day.
00:11National footballer Karin Forbes can boast of accomplishing this feat.
00:15After starting at age 7 and retiring at age 35.
00:19I think...
00:20I am 35 now and I have gotten to the stage that...
00:25I want to transition into what's next for Karin.
00:30National team for the last 21 years.
00:32I have been playing football for the last 27 years.
00:35So it's not like I am going to finish playing and just stepping out.
00:40away from national football or national duties because I think that...
00:45it's time for me to transition into what's next and that is more going into community work.
00:50In her career, she was known for her versatility, playing different roles in defense,
00:55midfield and as a forward, scoring over 20 goals.
00:59She would have played under...
01:00several coaches including Carolina Maraci, Kenwin Jones, Angus Eve and...
01:05Randy Waldrum.
01:06Waldrum coached the TNT women's team to within one win of reaching the...
01:102015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.
01:13They lost 1-0 to...
01:15Ecuador.
01:16It's a game she will not forget.
01:18The 2014 campaign...
01:20I must speak on that.
01:21I got hurt so I wasn't healthy.
01:25But I can say that was the closest that we have came to in terms of qualifying.
01:30and close to qualifying for the World Cup.
01:32Which is great.
01:33I thought that...
01:35we had a good run and we were that close and it would have been a child.
01:40dream for me to come through.
01:42However, it didn't happen.
01:43The national team gave...
01:45her the opportunity to travel the world and for a player out of Plymouth, Tobago.
01:50Starting under James Campbell, it may have been a dream distant from her thoughts.
01:55When I was just seven I started and...
01:57you know...
01:58I didn't even know that I would have gotten to this.
02:00point.
02:01I can safely say as well...
02:04I played my first...
02:05first competition with meals.
02:06I mean...
02:07I was demanding music...
02:08IATIONS COMPETITION with meals or...
02:09I should say...
02:10Boys...
02:10And, you know, my first female competition came when I went to Signal Hill 2nd.
02:15And I was scouted at the age of 13 by Mr. Jamal Shabazz.
02:19She went on to...
02:20I played for a few international clubs as well.
02:22I played amongst players like...
02:25Carly Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Abby Wombach, Megan Rapinoe.
02:30You know, that was a great experience for me.
02:33Eventually, she would go on to become...
02:35Captain of the National Women's Team.
02:37A role she had been unfamiliar with.
02:39When I...
02:40When I first got the captaincy, actually, I didn't even know, like...
02:45How to be and how to operate.
02:47Because, you know, you had some form of leadership in...
02:50But just accepting that new role...
02:53You...
02:54There was a difference.
02:55When you were behind someone.
02:57Opposed to now you were in front and people were behind.
02:59So it's...
03:00It forced me to grow.
03:01She hopes the players to follow will carry on the work of those that...
03:05Play the platform and not be discouraged when or if they are not selected.
