ST. JOHN’S, Canada— Growing up in Colorado in a committed Christian family has taught Janine Beckie that she’s “not supposed to live in fear.”
Beckie’s on-field bravery is a secret to few fans of the women’s game thanks to her strong showings out wide both for Canada and Manchester City.
While her faith has helped shape her into the footballer she is today, her beliefs have been more influential than ever as she sympathizes with those currently suffering across the country.
“I think it shapes my views on what’s going on, it shapes my feelings,” Beckie told Waking the Red.
