It sounds cliched, but I think for every individual your journey looks different,&#8221; said Wubben-Moy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;My journey hasn&#8217;t always been smooth and I actually think that&#8217;s put me in better stead. I&#8217;ve learned so much about myself as a person and a player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I am now stronger, fitter, more confident, and that is only a result of the journey that I&#8217;ve had.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;d be lying if I said there weren&#8217;t doubts. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;You constantly teeter on the line of confidence and belief but, ultimately, when you live life constantly wanting to push yourself, you will only ever get good results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Spending time on the sidelines will have been a frustrating period for Wubben-Moy, particularly during major tournaments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But it is a testament to her value as a player that Wubben-Moy&#8217;s thoughts were rarely about her, and only about the role she needed to play to help England win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;First and foremost, I&#8217;m thinking &#8216;What can I do to help? What can I do to contribute?'&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;When you look at things from that perspective, there will always be a possibility. There will always be something that you can do, regardless of whether you&#8217;re playing or not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wubben-Moy&#8217;s career has been a successful one.
