We recently caught up with Annie Zaidi, a coach who is currently working towards her UEFA A Licence qualification.
Alongside her professional development, Annie runs weekly sessions at her foundation 'CoachAnnieZ', designed to give girls the chance to play and fall in love with football.
Speaking on the importance of providing these opportunities, Annie says: "Regardless of their background, this is a safe place where they all come for the same goal which is to learn, have fun and stay fit."
"A lot needs to be done and hopefully my project is inspiring everyone else to let girls play."
Annie is also working towards her UEFA A Licence, our highest practical coaching qualification. She is using her experience and professional development to inspire the next generation and act as a role model in the community.
