00:00So my team-mate, her name was Evie, she made her debut with the national team and I was fortunate
00:05enough to be there and no, I just remember, I have so many good memories of her, bringing so much
00:13joy and laughter and happiness to the team, obviously I was really shocked and hurt when I heard the news,
00:19it's never easy whenever someone you're close with passes away, but especially a team-mate who you know, traveled with,
00:27you played with and just experienced
00:30so many great memories with, but I know that although it's difficult, I know the country is supporting her family
00:40and everyone on the national team, the staff, the players are all supporting them as they deal with her loss,
00:46but yeah, it's never easy when you experience something like this.
01:03I come from a small town in Texas called Pflugerville and now I play for one of the biggest clubs
01:10in France, like how is this even possible, you know? But yeah, so.
01:17I started playing football when I was three years old, so my dad one day, he brought home a pair
01:22of boots, like really small ones, um, made me try them on and then they signed me up to play
01:28and then I've been playing ever since, so, um, and thankfully I have parents who sacrificed a lot to help
01:34me to continue to play and be where I am today.
01:36Uh, right now I like it. The son? My, my best friend.
01:43So yeah, going into college I really thought I wanted to finish going, um, to medical school, potentially becoming a
01:51doctor, but the opportunity came available for me to continue playing and obviously I have so much passion and love
01:57for the game and so I'm just blessed to be where I am today playing as a professional player.
02:05I have a French teacher.
02:07I have a French teacher.
02:07Yeah, seriously?
02:08Yeah.
02:08She tells you qu'à de neuf.
02:09Yeah, qu'à de neuf.
02:10Every time we start the class, it starts with qu'à de neuf.
02:14The, you know, comment ça va?
02:23I think that was kind of a difficult thing for me growing up.
02:26Um, I didn't really see a lot of people that looked like me in the U.S. become professional football
02:33players, professional soccer players, um, just because the women's game wasn't as established now, but I think now that young
02:39players have the access to see me, to see other players like me, um, they can, they can have dreams
02:44and aspirations to continue to grow, to continue to, you know, push forward the women's game.
02:50I, I really think that players nowadays, um, they do have a big voice and, and provoking change and just
02:58helping, like, the, the global game of women's football move forward.
03:05I'm Karina.
03:06I came from far away, but I already feel Marseillez.
03:10This season's going to be one to remember.
