Geskenk started playing football back home at Perdekop,Mpumalanga, playing for a team called Chosen Few.She was playing at the second division ,coached by her older Brother ,then she got promoted to the first team in a space of not more than 4 months. The person influenced and inspired her to become a football player ,is her late mother ‘s sister, she was a player and later became a female coach.so for her playing football, it is her honoring her name to long live.Regarding her football journey, lessons she learned, well said it would be wherever you are given a chance use it to your full potential, Also being humble and keep on working hard,only chin-up when it is time to deliver (playing a match).Challenges she faced,told us they had to play Absa League For 3 Seasons before promotion to the Sasol League. Stating it was an easy road but she remember in the their third season in the Absa League, her coach would make them have two sessions per day ,sometimes they would have morning session at 8:00am and afternoon session at 4:00 pm,at time they would have training session at 12:00pm wearing their black rubbish plastic underneath so that they can get used to playing in the sun because Mpumalanga is very hot place.Her ambition is to get a Scholarship overseas, be able to play football and also study because to her football and studies go hand in hand .one must or learn to balance the two.According to her concerning football development in South Africa ,said it would be for women s’ football to be taken more seriously because its been years women football existing but still one can not say she making a living out of football because they are not paid,it is more of like they play football because they love it hence ,she said football and studies go hand in hand because their qualifications help them if things don’t go well in football. Her favourite football idol ,it is the Dutch goalkeeper Sari Van Veenendaal,Netherlands National Team. Happily said her best mentor in football it would be her coach back home, the person who taught her how to play her current position.Specifically she told us ,her that person would be her (smiling).She find motivation by reflecting where she come from and where she wanna be,so she would say her background has always been her motivation in everything she does in her life.However, other than herself would be a former NWU INSTITUTE male goalkeeper Luzuko Nzori,he always training and posting sessions ,so that motivates her to go to training even when she feel tired .In 3 years s’ time ,she wanna see herself playing in Overseas and to have obtained her second qualification, which she currently studying.Her last words regarding online interview, it was a great experience having to consider that am used to contact interviews and thank you for the opportunity .much appreciated.
