• Passion. What is it? It is defined as a strong emotion and a deep enthusiam for an activity or cause. This post is about passion, not directly, but as someone who writes on the internet to hopefully covey it, I hope you can read between the lines. I have just watched the first 3 episodes…

  • Hey guys, it’s been a bit longer than I intended it be between these parts. I do apologise, but also life happens and in this case, it REALLY happened. I wrote the last post from my hospital bed in McKissock Ward, St. Georges with a leaky wound… This time, I write from my bedroom, sat…

  • As I write this, I am still in hospital, healing from an infection and catching up on Ted Lasso before I watch the new season! Strap in, this is going to be a long one… In my last post, I said I would keep everyone updated, and I have, just not in the way I…

  • As the time ticks down, getting closer and closer to my surgery, the more I become confused. On one hand, I’m terrified, less of the surgery, more of everything that comes after. On the other, I’m relieved. What if this fixes all of my problems? What if it stops my feet from going numb and…

  • I’m having another surgery. I had an MRI on Saturday, and my surgeon called mum on Wednesday. Based on my symptoms, the benefits outweigh the risks, and we need to do it soon before I deteriorate any further.

I really lost track of time and writing another post simply slipped my mind. But now that’s all sorted, I can finally write and outline what my next chapter may look like 🙂…

  • Two weeks, 3 awards nights… Club The first was for Worthing Town U18s. It was an evening spent surrounded by my team. My first game for them was the best I think I have ever played. I finally didn’t have two left feet and I had more chances on target in that game than I…

  • There’s a fine line in sport. You have to listen to your body so you don’t get injured – you also need to train to get stronger. Have you ever done a gym session where you felt amazing but then couldn’t move the next day? I know I have. Disclaimer: All of my psychological knowledge…

  • As some of you may know, I have been in the process of creating an organisation, which I have named the Paine Foundation (pun intended) since the latter end of 2024. It is a football team run for Women and Girls with Disabilities (aged 16+) who don’t fit into the categories given to sports: mainstream…

  • Hey Guys…

    So I’m not sure what to write for this first post, but after a somewhat questionable podcast, trying to grow my socials and learning how to create and edit videos, this is my next adventure into the world of sports and social media. In this blog, you will find many things, from exciting stories from…
