At the time of the original release Casey was Manager at Man United Women, and had been capped over 100 times for England and captained the Lionesses and Team GB during the London 2012 Olympics.  

Casey talks us about how she was bullied for playing football as a girl, her surreal first cap in front of a crowd of 45,000, what makes a great captain and leader, the difference in life as a manager versus a professional player and how she’s managing life as Manager at Manchester United Women.  

Abbie Ward. A Bump in the Road  a powerful documentary, chronicles the remarkable journey of an England rugby player as she battles back to the professional game just 17 weeks after the birth of her baby in July 2023 and then to secure her place back in England’s Six Nations squad for 2024.
