The time has come for me to retire from sport. I’ve shared a few words here & also my ‘letter to sport’ in the link below ✍️ Life will never be the same, but I’ll still always try to make a positive difference. I’ve had great support, thank you so much ❤️

I felt lost for 2 yrs after having to retire from sport, it was like a light had gone out inside. So last year I set a goal to do this cycle in Italy. I lost 3.5 stone, got fit, & this cycle was the first time in 3 yrs that I felt myself again. Planning the next challenge now! 🚴🏻‍♀️

The comments on this post about women’s sport are awful. Thankfully as female athletes we’re not looking for negative folks on twitter to validate us, instead we have an inner drive they wouldn’t understand, and a whole generation of girls to inspire. So, that’s what we’re doing.

On Saturday I took my niece Ruby to her first ever match. Big stadium, top atmosphere, & 31,000 fans...for a women’s game. Back when I played footy this was unthinkable, but for this generation it’s real! They have role models, opportunities, & big dreams. Absolute magic ⚽️🌟💙

I keep reading that women’s sport will disappear after this crisis. This is my niece Ruby at the Man City v Man Utd women’s game- 31,000 fans & a very excited 9 yr old! This time is tough on every business but women’s sport is here to stay, the next generation is counting on it!

On July 13th in Zimbabwe, I became the first British woman to win the Commonwealth title, but there was no belt. Through working with the CBC a women’s belt has now been introduced for female champions. And here it is. It’s been a long wait, but we finally have it! PAVE THE WAY🌟

This is my niece Ruby, and for ‘Manchester day’ at her school today they had to go dressed up as a famous Mancunian. Ruby chose to go as me. I’m not famous of course, but as her auntie, as a female athlete and hopefully as a role model too, this meant the world.🌟❤️ #pavetheway

Ironically, big thanks go to Kevin, what was meant as a put down has resulted in more people hearing about my story than otherwise would have done. Regrettable method but positive outcome 😁🌟 #pavetheway @sueanstiss @Game__Changers_

I’ve lost count of the number of rude comments about my guests and women’s sport I’ve had to ‘hide’ on the @Game__Changers_ Facebook page. 👏 👏 Loving @scopelandboxer calm response as always. And Kevin... if you’d like to learn more the link is here

Top job by @BobbiHadgraft producing her first ever programme tonight! The Dead Good Show on @BBCRadioManc has given so many people (like me) the opportunity to learn & develop. Bobbi is a @UA92MCR student and it’s great to see young talent coming through…watch this space! 😁 🌟

Found this by a student from a session on role models in our girl's empowerment project. Exactly what makes it all worthwhile #PaveTheWay 😀🌟

Since starting #PaveTheWay in 2017 there have been lots of positives. But taking my 9yr old niece Ruby to see our exhibition of female role models in sport felt particularly special. It’s important to inspire the next generation, especially when it includes those we love most❤️🌟

Grandad’s boxing club moved to this gym over 20 years ago, I feel the exact same training here as I did as a scrawny kid sparring with my mates in head guards & gloves miles too big for us! I’m so lucky that I fell in love with sport, there’s absolutely nothing else like it 🥊❤️

I get why some people dislike boxing, or even object to it altogether. But I visit gyms like this one & see what it does for a community, what the sport does for boxers & keep fitters, what it nurtures in those drawn to it, & honestly it has a hugely positive impact #boxing 🥊😁

Hard to explain what today meant! Huge thanks to the @WomenSportTrust UNLOCKED campaign as I met with Dame Sue Campbell at the @FootballAssoc where she is director of women’s football. Sue is a true superhero in sport & this meeting had a massive impact on me. Blog to follow 😁🌟

My niece, Ruby. When I was her age boxing was banned for women, now I'm a pro. Let's make girls believe they can be anything! #DayoftheGirl

For those using @Twitter to have a positive impact and trying to do good in the world, only to discover nasty comments from negative folks on their feed...stop for a second, imagine the ‘troll’ eating cold pizza in a dark room tweeting their 6 followers and remember this below 🤔

Taking my middle niece Eliza to footy training tonight, and out of the blue in the car she said “I want to play football because you did” Definitely one of the best moments of my life 😂 Being an auntie is just ace 🥰🥰

It’s an amazing feeling to represent your country, I was fortunate to do so in football & boxing, this is my cap for football at 17, and my vest for boxing at 34. So for those dreaming of competing internationally in any sport, keep going! It can happen. Happy St. George’s Day🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
