Anna Moorhouse, the back-up goalkeeper for the England Lionesses, has described the emotional and physical intensity of their Euro 2025 win.
The victory, which was a nail-biter, 'put my heart rate through the roof,' she said.
Moorhouse's role on the team was crucial, even from the bench.
She was instrumental in helping the first-choice goalkeeper, Hannah Hampton, prepare for penalties, a high-pressure situation that could have determined the outcome of the final.
Moorhouse, who also plays for Orlando Pride in the NWSL, contrasted the high-stakes, stressful environment of the international tournament with her 'stress-free' life in the American league.
The difference in pressure is significant, with the NWSL offering a different kind of challenge and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Her comments provide a unique perspective on what it's like to be a part of a championship-winning team, even if you are not on the pitch.
She highlights the importance of the entire squad, including those who are not in the starting lineup.
The preparation for penalties, in particular, shows the level of teamwork and support that exists within the Lionesses squad.
Moorhouse's role in the victory, while not a headline-grabber, was essential to the team's success.
Her willingness to share her experience sheds light on the unseen work that goes into winning a major tournament.
