The world champion with the Spanish Soccer Team, that is immersed in a judicial process Because of the kiss she received from the former president of the Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, during the final celebrations, she has asked women to be brave and not be conformists.
“Being a player has given me the possibility of developing professionally and the opportunity to develop a series of habits and values thanks to competitive sport. Among them I have always given great importance to the care of the physical and mental health as the epicenter of everything it means to be in the elite at an international level,” said Hermoso, who believes that today We are a little closer to having a society in which there are women in sports, medicine, research, science and in many other fields.“references for a new generation that is being created thanks to the perseverance and passion that we put into everything we do.”
As he has pointed out, all this brings many positive things but “It means that we now have a very big responsibility towards this society. That’s why I want to take this opportunity to praise the work and leadership of all women footballers and at the same time ask you not to be complacent, May you be brave and May you continue fighting so that those who come behind do not have to fight so much and can enjoy a society without prejudice and that provides equal opportunities to all. In my case, playing sports and competing have made me stronger and have been my hallmark to inspire other people. With all my heart, I wish that each one finds that strength that allows them to grow, be happy and achieve a better world for everyone.”
“I want to ask you not to be conformists, to be brave and to continue fighting so that those who come behind do not have to fight so much and can enjoy a society without prejudices and that provides opportunities to everyone equally”
Before the world champion, four other athletes have collected their award. Among them the general director of Atlético de Madrid Femenino, Lola Romero, who urges us to move, take care of ourselves, get vaccinated…”I am always very active, I take care of my health, I try to keep my mind calm. Vaccines, for example, during the time of covid, saved the lives of many people. We have more than 300 girls in the club and we try to instill in them that they should have a healthy life, a healthy spirit, not only for the performance they can give to the club, but also for their future.”
Second most influential woman in the world
At the end of the event, Romero had words for Jenni Hermoso, finalist for The Best awards and chosen second most influential woman in the world by the Financial Times. “She is a influential woman above many. I am proud of Jenni not only for what they have done in the World Cup, which is winning it. She and her companions They have given a huge lesson to the world about how people can protect themselves, how they can protect each other, and I honestly believe that they have won more than a World Cup and that no one is going to forget about it.. “I think she has been an example for many women and for many people.”
“They have given an enormous lesson to the world about how people can protect themselves, how they can protect each other, and I honestly believe that they have won more than a World Cup and that no one is going to forget it.”
Likewise, he has pointed out that the maturity with which Jenni is working, everything that is happening “is making her worthy of that respect that not only shows it for her but for the rest. She says that sport has helped her get ahead, she has obviously had to have a lot of help to be where she is right now. It has been an example for all of us to realize that in these cases we should not take even a step back, quite the opposite and I believe that this revelation that he has made and the support that he has had around him have been the fruit of his maturity and undeniable work of so much time as a footballer and of situations that he has been able to see and that he has said cannot happen. When it happened to her, she showed her face and I am convinced that he did not give it just for her, but for many more women.”
Importance of rest and nutrition
