The power of resilience with Chloe Mustaki, Bristol City and Irish senior international footballer.

As a teenager Chloe led and captained her Irish U19 team which included players such as Katie McCabe, Sarah Rowe, Amy O’Connor and more, to the semi finals of the European championships however felt unwell during the tournament. Within 12 months she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Chloe battled her way back on to the pitch and found success following her treatment and was called up to the senior team in 2020. During Ireland’s final training session ahead of their 1-0 victory against Greece, Mustaki ruptured her ACL.

But she battled again and in just under a year from returning to the sport won the WNL title with Shelbourne, signed a professional contract with Bristol City, made her competitive debut against world number 2 Sweden in the 1-1 draw.

Chloe’s refreshing and honest answers give you a insight into her mentality as an elite level footballer and one of the most resilient athletes I’ve ever met. Do not miss this episode!!
