The She Kicks Locker Room: The Before & After with Caroline Weir

Liverpool’s Player of the Year and Scotland midfielder Caroline Weir keeps to the same matchday food – beans on toast for breakfast, chicken and pasta for lunch, depending on kick-off. She has no rituals, staying focused but relaxed with chats and music, and finds club and country similar except that with Scotland the squad prepares together throughout. She focuses entirely on the game in hand and her own role rather than previous or coming fixtures. Nerves she calls a good thing and would be more worried without them, adding that dealing with them gets easier with experience. Katie Zelem and Tash Harding are the noisy two. Recovery means ice baths, yoga and a bike session.
