23-year-old Andrea Gurtner is living her big dream as a soccer goalkeeper for a top Turkish club. Her thirst for adventure has taken her to Spain, Greece and Trabzonspor, where she has found her sporting happiness. Nevertheless, there were times when she often cried.

The 23-year-old Upper Austrian from Braunau and ÖFB goalkeeper was inspired by her grandfather. "He took me with him when I was four and put me in goal. At first the boys wouldn't let me play, even later in the performance center it was an issue, and I had to fight for my place through performance," recalls the tall blonde (1.77 meters).
