Rugby Para Todos [Brazil]

Will Broderick [national]

She took up rugby in 2011 through the Rugby for All community programme in Brazil. She played her first competitive match at age 14 against male players. (globoesporte.globo.com, 08 Dec 2019; scmp.comm 05 Apr 2019)

She wanted to leave her poverty-stricken neighbourhood in Paraisopolis, Brazil, and saw the chance through Rugby for All community programme. "I had some friends who came to the programme and they invited me. I had never heard of rugby in my life. If you get a chance to leave the favelas you don't pass it up. I was surrounded by poverty, but luckily the worst of it never really touched me. Rugby opened the door for me. The Rugby for All community programme found me when I was young and showed me the way out."

She trains at Nucleo de Alto Rendimento performance centre in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (globoesporte.globo.com, 08 Dec 2019)

"At the beginning, you have to show why you are there. Have that resistance, humility, because you are going to deal with people. So if you don't have humility, you can't go any further." (globoesporte.globo.com, 08 Dec 2019)
