The first time Yasmina stood in front of a group of young athletes, her mouth felt dry and her heart raced. Her new team was sitting in a circle around her feet looking up at her, all those bright, young faces watching her. "I can't be their football coach", Yasmina thought. "I don't know how to do this!"

Yasmina grew up running and jumping and racing with her cousins. She knew a lot about the sports she loved, so why did teaching them feel so scary? Yasmina realised her shyness was getting in her way. She was determined not to let stage fright stop her from being the coach and trainer she knew she could be. So Yasmina reached out to more experienced coaches and listened to their advice. She showed up every week with a smile on her face, ready to show her girls how to pass, dribble and score goals.

"Grow through what you go through".

When the team won their first match, Yasmina ran out onto the pitch to hug her girls. "This is the best feeling in the world!" Yasmina thought as they celebrated. Yasmina realised her confidence had grown as much as her team's.

Yasmina loved coaching football so much, she took on more opportunities to train young athletes. Kickboxing—with its powerful movements like foot jabs and side kicks—made her feel strong. She wanted to give other girls that same gift, so she began teaching kickboxing too.

Helping people reach their full potential is Yasmina's superpower. She dreams of becoming a nurse to help even more people—but she'll always teach sports. It's her way of inspiring girls to be fearless, even when it feels impossible.
