00:00I would never in a million years imagine when I started playing off that I'd be on the side
00:09of Wollongong shopping mall in my hometown.
00:20I mean this is a nice little indicator to have there for young girls and boys when they're
00:26just coming into the shops to see, you know, if I can do that as well and that's something
00:30I didn't have growing up so I'm glad that change has been able to happen here.
00:38This morning I put my signature on it and it's always a great feeling.
00:42I have my music pumping in my headphones and it's just like, woo, I love it.
00:49As a race against time, the weather was an issue.
00:57We sort of had some nice days and then all of a sudden it was just 100 point hill of
01:00rain and the weekend there was a couple of days that were completely washed out so, but
01:06yeah, got there in the end.
01:17Every game's going to be tough.
01:18There's no easy game at the Olympics so yeah, once you get out of the group, you know, the
01:24next game's going to be just as hard and that's just how the tournament is so, yeah, I mean,
01:28but if we get off to a good start in our group and, you know, Germany, USA in the top ten
01:35and, yeah, I mean the African teams aren't easy as well as we've seen at the World Cup.
01:40We lost to Nigeria so every game's going to be tough but yeah, I think if we overcome
01:46these teams it will be a massive boost in confidence going throughout the tournament
01:50so yeah, it will be huge.
