Standing on the field at Olympic Stadium in Montreal Celia Jimenez looks into the stands to see her parents. She then flashes back to the moment when she kicked her first soccer ball at the age of six.
She reminisces about the trip to the stadium with police escorts, and the tires on the bus rolling through a red carpet. She thinks about the level of competition increasing from when she was that six year old girl playing soccer in Alcaudete, Spain to 13 years later playing on Spain’s national team in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
