This teenager is breaking records at soccer and training with the boys — and she's hungry for more (via CNBCMakeIt)
"I wasn't the most talented or the fastest when I was growing up. I think I worked very hard, I put my head down and continued to work," said 18-year-old Danelle Tan.At just six years old, she joined a soccer club in Singapore where her brothers played every Saturday.She scored 12 goals in her first class — an impressive performance that was just the beginning of her achievements in the sport.What made the night sweeter for Tan was scoring a goal — the only one — for her team.
"When I first joined, there wasn't a girls' team … The original intention was always to join a boys' team to make sure I can challenge myself," Tan said."At the same age, they're a lot more physical and faster so I have to think faster, I have to move the ball quicker to match that physicality," she added."I wasn't the most talented or the fastest when I was growing up.
"I had a really good support system. A lot of my friends were very supportive, especially my family — that helped me bounce back.""Can I become Singapore's all-time [best] goal scorer or can I become the top goal scorer at my club? I just want to continue striving for more and reaching for more."Juggling an athletic career and school is no mean feat. A typical day for Tan starts at 8 a.m., with classes running all the way till 4.30 p.m.
