What attracted you towards Football? When did you realize that you wanted to take up the sport at a professional level?
Selina Wagner:
A lot of my family members played football, so I had to deal with it quite early and started playing when I was 3 years old. I’ve tried some other sports like handball, athletics and tennis but I’ve stuck with playing football. When I was first invited to a professional women’s football club I started to dream of playing professionally. That was when I was 16 years old.
Namita Nayyar:
Extensive energy & fitness is required for the sport you play. How do you go about maintaining your fitness level? What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Selina Wagner:
Most of the fitness training needed is covered by my team training. Besides the technical and tactical training, we also work on improving athletics together. In addition to that, I also do some weight training and try to improve my fitness with mountain bike trips.
Namita Nayyar:
What diet do sportsperson need to follow? Any special diet you follow or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Selina Wagner:
Basically the most important part of nutrition is not to burn less calories than to consume. I don’t follow any strict diet but I just try to eat healthy in general. This doesn’t mean though you’re not allowed to eat chocolate or drink coke now and then, just don’t do it too often. 😉
