Gal #25: Deena Greaves - holder of 5 Guinness World Records
This week we welcome our new gal crush Deena Greaves to the podcast, former professional footballer, women's sport advocate and the holder of five (yes 5) Guinness World Records!
Deena's journey with football has taken her all over the world and seen her play for the Arsenal youth team and sign a professional contract with her beloved Fulham FC.
She was even called up to represent England at youth level, before moving to Egypt and eventually representing the Bahrain national team.
She has been involved with various academies as a coach and now works as the UK Project Lead for Ida Sports, which makes football boots (or cleats for our North American listeners) that cater to the small differences that exist between men’s and women’s feet and aims to eliminate preventable pain points.
We LOVED having Deena on the podcast, hearing all about her Dream Team, her world records, how she dealt with knock backs in football, her ultra competitive streak and so many lols our cheeks hurt by the end.
