Kirsten Christiansen

This Norwegian winger’s blistering acceleration and thunderous long-range strikes make her a nightmare for any defense, even if her composure in front of goal occasionally falters. To lock in focus before matches, she stubbornly balances an apple on her head in the dressing room, a ritual her teammates view with a mix of utter bewilderment and respect. Despite her exceptional skill, she remains remarkably humble and grounded on and off the pitch.
