I
love all the changes this season; I love the new facilities, the new coaching staff, the new system and the philosophy we’re trying to play. The group of girls we’ve recruited are excellent players, but they’re even better people. We spend so much time together and everyone gets on, which I think you can see on the pitch. Some results haven’t gone the way we’ve wanted but I feel we’re getting better and better every week. The key is no matter who’s come into the team and who’s starting we have a real togetherness. I think it’s so important the team remain together whether you’re starting, coming on, injured or don’t play. The club’s in a fantastic place, with a group of girls and staff who are second to none. Personally it’s not been the easiest of starts. I’ve had to recover from injury and it’s taken me some time to get going. During that time, I think it was really important to try and make an impact off the pitch while I couldn’t do so on it. Now I am able to train and play, I’m focusing on getting quicker and stronger. I’m glad to say it’s happening and every few weeks I’m hitting new personal bests. Now it’s about using that to help the girls get results. After time with Celtic, Arsenal, Millwall and Charlton, Crystal Palace is hands down my favourite club, and it has the best group of girls. My initial perception of

Palace on the outside was so different to what it is on the inside. Palace was a team you didn’t like playing because they were aggressive, so you assumed that’s what they were like off the pitch. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Now I’m wearing the badge it’s excellent to be on this side: part of the team rather than against it. The girls are like a family to me, I absolutely love them. They might not say that about me – they’d say I’m annoying! – but honestly they are like family members. I’ve never been at a team where every single person gets on and every single person likes each other. All the girls who’ve moved from up north spend our off days together and we’re always going for coffee before training. Finally, talking about life away from Palace, I work for a company called B5 Consultancy which works with players and clubs to help them with the off the pitch issues, including social media. I work with football, rugby and cricket clubs and organisations nationally and internationally to help athletes to protect themselves on social media. One project I have going on with B5 Consultancy and DiSE (Diploma in Sporting Education, who run educational courses for WSL Academies), is to educate youth female athletes on being prepared for the growth of media in the Women’s game. We are educating them on what to expect and how to deal with it. We made
The group of girls we’ve recruited are excellent players, but they’re even better people. We spend so much time together and everyone gets on, which I think you can see on the pitch a video called ‘#BeReady’ which highlights the key messages we try to get across. The video was so successful it’s up for Best Sport Related Commercial Video of the Year at the Sports Business Awards later this month! I’m very proud of that, and proud of the work we’ve done at Palace this season. Hopefully there’s more to come from both over the next few months! charley Clifford
