Kelly Smith, assistant coach of our women’s first team, discusses her return to the club, explains her role, and comments on how far the sport has come.

So much has changed in the game since I was a player. I think the biggest change I’ve noticed coming back in, is how incredibly professional the side is now. There are so many more staff members and resources here at Arsenal - we've got three video technicians, a full-time sports psychologist, a full-time nutritionist and a set piece specialist. Even the facilities are light years away from what I was used to.
