The Olympics are grueling, but I would have done anything to compete.

Lucy Bronze, one of the top footballers in the world, has recently joined the prestigious club Chelsea and has been training with them at their Cobham facility. As an avid lover of the sport, Lucy admits that she would have done anything to be a part of the Olympics, and is experiencing some "FOMO" (fear of missing out). She believes that the Games are an incredible experience, having had the opportunity to participate in Tokyo three years ago, despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic.

Not being able to qualify for Paris was a difficult blow for Lucy, and she would have given anything to be there, even if she wasn't fully fit. Watching the Olympics from afar, while wanting to be there, was a tough experience for her. However, she has found a silver lining in the situation - for the first time in 15 years, she was able to take a proper break and even go on a family holiday. Lucy is now looking forward to joining her new team, Chelsea, on their tour in the US, feeling relaxed and rested after her break.

Compared to previous years, the schedule for women's football has become more demanding, as seen during the Olympics. Lucy believes that this may have affected the performance of some teams, such as Spain. She also acknowledges the amazing achievement of her former Barcelona teammates who were a part of the Spanish team. Despite being the best players in the women's game, they were not able to showcase their true abilities due to the hectic schedule and travel demands of the Olympics. On the other hand, the US team had fresher players, as they are currently in the middle of their NWSL season.

Reflecting on the Olympics, Lucy couldn't help but feel for her role model, Marta, who was playing her last Games at the age of 38. Although she didn't win the gold medal, Marta's incredible career and impact on Brazilian women's football cannot be overlooked. Lucy is inspired by Marta's dedication and passion, even at her age, and hopes to have the same motivation and drive throughout her own career.

Now, at the age of 30, Lucy is excited to be back in England and playing in the Women's Super League with Chelsea. Despite people questioning her age, she is determined to continue playing until her body tells her otherwise. She loves the sport and wants to experience it in every corner of the world before she retires. Lucy is looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that await her at Chelsea, a club that represents everything she stands for as a strong and confident female athlete.

As a British brand that celebrates and supports women in sports, ALIGNE is proud to partner with Lucy Bronze. She embodies the qualities of confidence and strength that the brand stands for, making her the perfect ambassador. With her talent and determination, Lucy will undoubtedly make a significant impact on and off the field with Chelsea.
