While discussing her book, Scott opened up about the trauma she’s faced in the aftermath of its release.

“I would say the last couple of weeks took me through a lot of trauma. Again, I would say the next month or the next year, the happiness will then set in, but the last couple of weeks have been really tough because not only have I written the book but then every day I [have been] talking about past events, and that trauma and the emotion – reliving everything – was super hard.”

Amid this busy period of her life, the former footballer also discussed the challenges of navigating through her busy schedule – including heading to the World Cup which is taking place in Qatar.

“It looks like this amazing lifestyle constantly working which I’m so grateful for, but then I’m getting on a plane to go to the World Cup and this will be my second World Cup I’m working in and I know the responsibility I hold sitting in a country that [sees] women as second class citizens.”

The location of the 2022 World Cup has been a source of controversy due to the country’s views on women’s rights, homosexuality and more. And while Scott will be working during this period, she feels an immense amount of responsibility to still speak up.

“I take a lot of responsibility for being that woman on that panel to have a voice and not let that stuff just slide.”
