Name – Kayla Potter

Time at club – second season 

Position – forward 

Do you have any matchday superstitions?

I try to stay away from superstitions, but I do love an early morning coffee and a walk outside to clear my head before a match.

What’s been your most memorable moment in a Wycombe shirt?

Anytime I get to play at Adams Park is special. One of my favourite moments was our big comeback against Chesham, getting ourselves back in the game and into the hat for the next round was unbelievable.

What do you believe the team can achieve this season?

I don’t want to jinx it, but I really believe we’re capable of a lot more wins this season. If we keep building momentum, there’s no reason we can’t put together a serious promotion push.

How do you hope to inspire the next generation of players?

I love when we get to walk out with the next generation of players, especially when it’s a girls’ team. Whenever I can, I try to be approachable and set a positive example in training and matches. If younger players feel encouraged and supported, I hope they fall in love with the game just like we did.

How would you best describe yourself as a player?

I’d say my strengths are my speed and technical ability. I like being direct, creative on and off the ball, always looking for ways to make something happen.

Besides football, what other sports do you enjoy?

Growing up I played every sport I could get my hands on. These days, alongside football, I also train in Thai boxing and I love skiing!

What’s your favourite food / go-to meal?

My favourite food is chocolate even if some people don’t think it counts as real food! And my go-to meal is sushi… bonus points if it’s in Canada.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?

I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere, elite napping ability. And once I’m asleep I am dead to the world. 

If you won the lottery tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d buy?

Plane tickets! I’d love to travel and explore as many places as possible.

If you could instantly become amazing at one random thing, what would it be?

Speaking multiple languages
