Ellie Carpenter’s Chat with Steph Catley: On Football, Life, and Everything In Between
Ellie: Hey Steph! Good to see you. It feels like we barely get a chance to catch up these days between training and matches!
Steph: I know, right? It’s been a whirlwind. But that’s the life we signed up for. So, how’s everything going with you? Any exciting news?
Ellie: Oh, you know, the usual – just chasing dreams and making tackles. I did get a new rescue dog recently. He’s a big fluffball and absolutely adorable. How about you?
Steph: Aww, that’s awesome! I’ve been good, just balancing my time between the pitch and some personal projects. I’m actually working on a new charity initiative focusing on kids in sports.
Ellie: That sounds fantastic! You’ve always been so passionate about giving back. Speaking of passion, that game last week was unbelievable! How did it feel scoring that decisive goal?
Steph: It was surreal. Moments like that remind me why we put in all the hard work. But, to be fair, your assist was pure magic! You were everywhere on the field.
Ellie: Thanks, Steph! Team effort, right? So, let’s talk prep. How do you gear up for big games mentally?
Steph: Meditation has become a big part of my routine. It helps keep me centered. I know you’re more into your pre-game playlists. What’s been on repeat lately?
Ellie: Oh, you know me too well! My playlist is always evolving, but right now, I can’t stop listening to Lizzo. Her energy is just contagious. Any go-to rituals for you, besides meditation?
Steph: A cup of green tea and some visualization techniques. And maybe a quick chat with family to keep me grounded. How about off the field? How do you unwind?
Ellie: Hanging out with friends, playing with my dog, and a bit of Netflix binging. Sometimes a good book too. It’s all about balance, right?
Steph: Absolutely. That’s key. Oh, speaking of Netflix, have you watched the new documentary on women’s football? It’s so inspiring.
Ellie: Yes! It’s brilliant. It showcases not just the talent but the heart and resilience behind the game. We could use more of that spotlight on women’s sports.
Steph: Totally agree. Here’s to hoping our chats on and off the field inspire the next generation. Keep doing what you do, Ellie. You’re making waves!
Ellie: Right back at you, Steph. Onwards and upwards! Let’s catch up properly soon. Maybe a doggy playdate?
Steph: Sounds perfect. Take care, Ellie!
