Um, but can you explain, Lucy, what that psychological stress is? The financial pressure we can understand from some of the figures that Sally put forth.
Lucy StaniforthGUEST
I think that's, that's an area that FIFPro really want to sort of work into and, and really understand.
Lucy StaniforthGUEST
Um, but I'd, I wouldn't want to generalize that to the, the population, especially on a global level.
Lucy StaniforthGUEST
I think that perhaps from, um, Western Europe and, and the leagues that are really progressing, you're seeing a lot of players that are becoming, um, household figures.
Lucy StaniforthGUEST
You know, privacy is, is at a minimum, um, these days with some of those players, and I think that I've witnessed that firsthand in, in the clubs that I've played at.
Lucy StaniforthGUEST
I think when I was, um, when the Lionesses won the Euros, it really heightened the spotlight that those players were under.

Nuala McGovernHOST
But then the potential stress, lack of privacy that can come from that, Lucy.

Lucy StaniforthGUEST
Like, my brother's 12 and 14 years older than me, so I was the little girl that they had in the garden just putting a ball in front of me when I was learning to walk.
Lucy StaniforthGUEST
My primary school, my school teacher there knew my dad, who was involved in football, set up a girls' team.
Lucy StaniforthGUEST
So it was very much just hit the ground running and, yeah, I've never sort of looked back in terms of playing.
