Leah Williamson on performance anxiety, endometriosis, & what she hopes for the future of football

[@wavever]

Leah Williamson is simply amazing! Not only a great player, but an extremely smart, well-spoken and inspirational person!

[@aaiivilo]

I can't tell you how inspiring Leah is to me and other young women. Honestly, she is such a pure character and I can't even put into words what she means to me

[@victorsamsung2921]

A fine display of healthy feminity.👌

[@albertbrammer9263]

Leah is a great ambassador for women and football. She speaks so well and so positively and honestly. I admire her greatly.

[@spectrev1727]

Not just a baller! Leah is incredibly articulate and genuine about her journey! True inspiration for a young generation ❤

[@michelle.s04]

What a rolemodel she is❤️

[@therealisticgooner8267]

Miss Williamson would be the first to admit that she is a stranger to most of us . What we see here is the product of good parents that gave their child opportunities and the child made the most of them and with a more than a little determination and self motivation, turned into the stuff of dreams and made her dreams come true . Every successful sports person has a long list of folk that help them achieve there goals. What makes Leah stand out is her ability to relate to woman of all ages, she is so open and honest about her self that we end up questioning our own short comings because she sounds so normal . Who doesn’t want her as a best friend and yes lover . There is so much to be admired but in my humble opinion she is courageous humble and smart . Her talent is unquestionable but there are many others in both the mens and woman’s game that have as much if not more talent but don’t use there stature in the game for good as Leah does. That in its self speaks volumes about the person she is. I’d prefer to meet her and talk Arsenal than many in the mens team because she isn’t a Gooner because she signed for the club , she signed for the club because she is a Gooner . Respect to her . 😊

was good until the lover part 🥴 don't make it weird like that

[@therealisticgooner8267]

@@harleyquiinnnn could you clarify which part you think is ‘ weird ‘ pls as the lower part is a tad vague !

[@BedZzledbbg]

@@therealisticgooner8267The term partner would be a more appropriate term, ‘lover’ sounds more sexual.

[@omabdulgani]

What a lovely person, and a stunner, too. A true inspiration 👏

[@twilightfantasy9838]

Hearing her at the end talk about getting the chance to have same feeling she did at the euros in the World Cup this year hurts now knowing that she definitely won’t be able to after her acl injury 😢😢💔

[@karibeinefect]

Leah Williamson is an angel!!!

[@rblx.pinkwatermelon6514]

This player us truly a inspiration! She makes me want to play football! She is my idol and the best player ever existed! She served this country right! She made us win the euros 2022! She should be so proud of what she has achieved! Love u so much Leah! U are a truly an inspiration to all young girls!

[@abbienunn5888]

Love her so much, she's so true to herself ❤️

[@noelhudson4348]

Leah the perfect person to take down the pub all your mates would love her talking about football all night and an absolute stunner

[@jaydee3216]

I totally agree. Utterly incredible isn't she? Down the pub the perfect woman and back in the bedroom the perfect woman.

[@samanthaford5145]

Love Leah she is my favourite Lionesses! ❤

[@madisonevans6137]

I know I am late putting this up but I wanted to say that you ( Leah) and the rest of the girls around the world who play sport managed to convince my school to do a girls football club. The school still isn't perfect because girls aren't allowed to do boxing and 2022 was the first year they taught football to girls in a pe lesson. Being a girl who likes sport I struggle in or lessons because all the other girls in my class don't like pe so there is about 5 of us and my PE teacher playing a game/ match while the others just stand around and talk to their friends So I just wanted to say thank you. I am so greatful.

[@mufc_abs2853]

she is the best when i heard about everythihng she mentions it made me think wow what a good human being

[@benjy51]

She is amazing! Our captain a true gooner! As a bonus she is also absolutely beautiful!

[@rohityesthatsme]

Wow this was such a good video and Leah spoke so well. I think a lot of young people would benefit from watching this

[@michelle.s04]

Bless her❤️

One of the best women's footballers around and this is from a Chelsea fan absolutely phenomenal Maldini Esque effortlessly exceptional

[@ellabutler5255]

I play football at my high school and I'm one of the highest rated keeper in my school and I'm the only person who loves PE and I am very lucky to go to a school that is based on PE I'm the highest rated keeper in my school and I'm only in year 7 and I will keep developing my skill in football as I grow old

some of these comments are so stupid and obviously coming from a place of self hatred. leah is an amazing player and person, she speaks the truth and some people can’t handle that

[@essj3334]

The most gorgeous girl in football

[@avejaly8065]

Nah. Alessia Russo tops her. And many others. Leah is quite bland. Looks ok but not stunning.

[@starbw1]

@@avejaly8065they are both gorgeous

[@summerandcally279]

I keep asking to play football in my PE but they don’t let us coz not all the other girls do

[@jeromefroilan7115]

If still permitted to be a Captain of the Lionesses , She could help up to bring the World cup. Full of motivation...

I know its sexist and I shouldn't be saying it about a female footballer but she is some beautiful woman.

It’s not sexist to say she’s beautiful!

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

She fine as hell

[@keithknight1686]

@@evet2031 Thank you. Compliments are a minefield of potential trouble these days. On the field she is also graceful.

[@MegzGMissMeganne]

That’s not sexist at all - she’s beautiful and talented and how passionate she is about football is attractive

[@eflabb]

Despite being a Gooner - akin to me, as a Spurs supporter, to playing in Transylvania for a Dracula XI - Leah is kind, caring, compassionate - and a great footballer.

in the US they no longer do PE in school claiming its sexist racist unfair &/or body shaming.... let then everyone wonders why the US is not healthy & bad social interaction or aggressive or not confident etc etc. tragic.....

I used to play rugby because football wasn’t a thing for girls!😢😢

[@Ballclassico]

[@den_525]

captain fantastic!

[@jessmagoa]

I didn’t like her comments about the others girls not being active and then there being insecure about their bodies. Like some people just aren’t into sports and shouldn’t be shamed because they’re not ripped like a soccer player. That was an uncalled for comment. Also, I played sports all through school and trained very hard and never had a “perfect body”, that’s just genetically how I’m built. So even if people are active they can still have insecurities. She’s just lucky that her genetics and activity levels lined up as such that she’s never had to be insecure about her body. Smh Leah

[@ellamarie3678]

You completely missed her point and that’s okay, it happens. She was saying she wasn’t insecure because sport made her proud of her body because of its STRENGTH, not it’s appearance. If you look for things to get offended at, you’re going to find it. Instead of projecting and misplacing your insecurities and anger, work through your triggers.

[@jessmagoa]

@@ellamarie3678 wow, you really went in on that one. if you’re going to correct someone at least try and be kind instead of patronizing and abrasive. I see your point now about what Leah was saying, hope it makes you feel better to be unkind in the process of doing that

[@marthamydear5869]

No. It’s really important to be active. Stop being triggered.

[@JohnHope-tt3jx]
