For Simpson, every match is an opportunity to showcase her skills and grow as a player. The journey hasn’t been without its hurdles, but with each save and every game, Carrie proves that hard work and dedication yield results. The support from her teammates and the coaching staff has played a significant role in her rapid development as a goalkeeper, and she’s not shy about sharing her passion for giving her all in every game.
