Hermien Schram

With zen-like calm and ruthless aggression, this Dutch fullback dominates the pitch with explosive speed and precise tackling, though her poor stamina forces her to choose her moments carefully. Before every match, she ritually sprinkles sea salt on her shorts to 'ward off bad luck,' leaving teammates between amused and totally bewildered. She is the definition of a defensive lock, maintaining pure serenity while stripping the ball from any attacker who dares to cross her path.
