Reporter: Deedra, thank you for taking the time to sit down with us today. Let's start off by talking about your recent form on the pitch. You've been exceptional this season, how do you maintain such a high level of performance?
Deedra: Thank you for having me. I think it all comes down to hard work and dedication. I take my career very seriously and I make sure to put in the extra hours both on and off the pitch to improve my game. My coach always praises me for my work ethic, and I believe that's a big part of my success.
Reporter: Speaking of your coach, what is your relationship like with him?
Deedra: My coach and I have a great relationship. He trusts me on the field and I always give 100% for him and the team. He knows that I am serious about my career, but he also appreciates that I know how to have fun and let loose once in a while.
Reporter: You've had your fair share of injuries and concussions throughout your career. How do you manage to push through these obstacles and continue playing at such a high level?
Deedra: It's definitely not easy, but I've always had a never-give-up attitude. I love the game of football and I will do whatever it takes to be out on the pitch with my teammates. My body may be a bit of a ruin, as you mentioned, but I believe that my passion for the game will always drive me to keep going.
Reporter: Let's talk about your favorite club to play against, BDB. What is it about that match-up that you enjoy so much?
Deedra: BDB is always a tough opponent, but I thrive in those high-pressure situations. I love the challenge of playing against them and it always brings out the best in me. Plus, the rivalry adds an extra level of excitement to the game.
Reporter: And finally, can you tell us a random interesting fact about your life outside of football?
Deedra: Well, not many people know this, but I am actually an avid painter in my free time. I find it to be a great way to relax and express myself creatively. It's a nice escape from the intensity of football.
Reporter: Thank you for sharing that with us, Deedra. It's been a pleasure speaking with you today.
Deedra: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure.
