Meet Zoya Bagalkoat Football Player From Karnataka

Zoya Bagalkot Hubli, Karnataka I just used to watch football matches with my dad from where I was been inspired. So I thought of joining football academy. SHFA( Sporting Hubli Football Academy) was the only academy in Hubli for girls. So I joined it when I was 14 years old that is in 8th grade.We where just 3 girls @nanda__deshpande, @neha and me in our academy who used to train with the boys. In the begin it was too tough for me to wake up early in the morning at 5:30am and going to ground with my dad. The first thought which comes everyday in my mind is 'I should never give up and I will give my 100%". Day by day I started scoring more goals it gave me happiness and courage for achieving my dream. Then I started playing tournaments and leagues with were conducted in Hubli-Dharwad further I played for Misaka United Fc and even for the Haliyal team. I got lot of support from my Coach Swapnil.Kumtakar, My parents and my teammates. Whenever I used to be nervous on the field my coach always boosted me and encouraged me so that I can give my best on the field. Every day I push myself to work hard so that I become more fit n play well. I have aimed to playing for Indian national team. Hope my hard work will pay off! Hope for the best.

Hope Her Hard Work Turn Out into Success.
