One of my teammates said he was lifting his hand up, signaling (another referee) to wait. And I thought he was giving me a high five. It was one of the most embarrassing things ever. He kind of looked at me and was like 'OK?' It was really embarrassing.

I definitely think it prepared me. Getting the experience to play against some of the best players in the world at such a high level prepares you for any type of competition.

I feel pressure wherever I go. I'm nervous for everything, even club games at home. It's getting a little easier, but I still feel nervous everyday.

Just as one goes on a fast or a body cleanse you owe it to yourselves to detox your mind, it will not be easy but easy never yielded lasting results.

Viciousness is part of the world we live in, some of us choose to ignore it with the rationalisation of wanting only positivity to flow our way. How selfish we have become! That the pain of others has become a hindrance to the fulfilment of our positive selves.

We are imperfect creatures created with egotistical defects, insecurities and an incomprehensible desire for perfection and the excessive use of social media feeds the raging fires within, most of the time adding salt to wounds we never knew existed and at times creating new ones.
