England’s Lionesses have taken the world by storm enforcing social change after lifting the European Championship trophy last summer.
While their initiative has resulted in the recent announcement for young girls to have equal chances to play football, Manchester United and England’s goalkeeper Mary Earps declared that she wants to go deeper and impact the narrative surrounding goalkeepers.
The 30-year-old spoke candidly to MEN Sport about her visceral passion to get kids exposed and involved with being in between the sticks. She said: “I want to get as many young people excited about playing in goal because on a lot of the TV adverts you constantly see strikers or people scoring goals, that's what you think is important, you're conditioned to believe that that's the only thing that matters.
