Hannah Duncan has always started early.
At a time when the regulations allowed it, she was playing in senior matches at the age of 14, and took her first steps on the coaching ladder at 17.
Now 32, she continues to combine playing and coaching - she took a girls team through from under-11s to under-16s, has taken a representative team to the world-renowned Gothia Cup and is now coaching a boys' under-7s team at a Premier League club.
A captain at three of the clubs she has played for, and possessing the Uefa B licence, Hannah knows a fair bit about leadership and communication.
