🧠 Develop Resilience: Learn to get back up after being knocked down, both physically and mentally.
🤝 Experience Teamwork: Feel the incredible power and support of being part of a dedicated team.
❤️ Learn Respect: Respect others, regardless of their background or decisions.
🚀 Unleash Confidence: Ultimately realise that she is unstoppable!
