Being a goalkeeper is filled with pressure. Not only are you are responsible for keeping goals out, with scrutiny on each performance or error, there is always someone waiting on the bench to take your place, with only one spot on the pitch.
At the moment, Zecira Musovic is that person at Chelsea. Hannah Hampton is the designated No 1 in the WSL but the Sweden international continues to feature in European and cup competitions and is ready whenever needed.
It is not always the most comfortable of situations - every player wants to be the go-to person - but Musovic thrives and shines when the pressure is on both on and off the pitch.
"I know what I'm capable of and I know who I am. I know what I stand for as a person and as a goalkeeper," she exclusively told Sky Sports.
"I have a high belief in myself. I know I can doubt myself but I still know what to do when I'm being exposed in different moments. I know that I'm really good under pressure. I think that's when I shine the most.
"It's something I've been working on for a long time. I started working with a psychologist when I was 16 years old and not because I was bad, it was just to gain tools and to get to know myself better, how I work in different situations, so when I end up in those challenging moments, I know how to handle myself.
"That's something that's been really helpful for me because it will not always be sunshiny days.
"I'm following my own process because there's so many people wanting to have their opinions on you and you have to have that belief in your own road to success. That includes different areas of the game - the technical, the physical, the mental. That's something that I keep improving on every day, regardless of the outcomes.
"I have my goals, short term and long term, and that's something that I follow strictly. That's also something that has made it possible for me to still perform, even if it hasn't been an easy road to that final bit."
One way Musovic has helped her reflex and agility in goal is through the use of BlazePods - a set of innovative light pods that test reaction times and aid improved spatial awareness and fitness.
"I was introduced to BlazePods a few years ago," she said. "Being a really curious person and wanting to know how I can develop myself led me to thinking, 'how can I improve my cognitive thinking', which is a massive part in goalkeeping?
"When I saw BlazePods, I was like, 'this is a really simple thing where I can work on the cognitive piece in my game'.
"We don't talk enough about the brain as a muscle and how we can improve that, both to be mentally strong in our thoughts but also how we can take quicker decisions. That's basically what goalkeeping is about - how quick can you make a decision and how right can you get it to hopefully save the ball? So that's something that I value highly."
At Chelsea, it is all about the winning mentality and being the best you can be. Under new manager Sonia Bompastor, the Blues are unbeaten in all competitions this season as they look to add more silverware to an already bulging cabinet.
"I've had the privilege to work with different coaches and I think they're all unique in their way of working. One thing that I have in common is that they are extreme winners," Musovic reflected.
"Sonia is a coach who's really intense. She's a winner, she's ambitious, she knows what she wants, she's very demanding and I love all of those attributes. As a coach, she's leading the way in how Chelsea should behave.
"We don't think about the fact we have won a lot like that's just something that's OK. To be able to win year in and year out, you have to be able to have that mindset that it's not enough - what's happened has happened. Now it's the next one.
"We are happy that we have won a lot of games and a lot of trophies previously but that's not something that's going to lead us to the next one. You have to put in the work, stay humble and keep challenging yourself on a daily basis to find another level in you because if we don't do that, someone else will - and we hate losing."
This drive to improve every day is something that has Musovic considering a career in coaching or something similar once she retires. The 28-year-old is already undertaking her UEFA A licence alongside the likes of Beth Mead and Steph Houghton in the first all-female cohort.
"I'm really enjoying the course. I've gained a new pair of glasses which I see the game through," she said. "Coaching and goalkeeping is actually similar if you're playing for a winning team because you stand there and you see the whole picture in front of you.
"You think, 'how would I position my players? How can we reach a certain area where it's open because the opponents are not covering that? Or how are the opponents behaving?' That's something the course has helped me with to gain a bigger understanding of the game and how you can really coach your team.
"I see myself in management of the game, whether that's being a sporting director, general manager or a head coach. I'm curious - in the same way as I'm adding layers to my player profile in the different aspects of the game, this is my way of adding layers after my playing career.
"I can't really say that I want to become a coach. If you asked me a few years ago, it would definitely be a no. I would say, 'ah, when I stop playing, I want to have my free weekends, I want to have my schedule that I know in advance', but now I'm getting a little bit curious.
"I love the thought of being able to build a team and reaching the full potential of individuals within it and how you can make everyone feel valued and appreciated and have a clear role. That's something that I'm passionate about.
"It [the all-female course] is something that shows that the English FA, they value the sport and the females within it. You have players like Beth Mead, Lia Walti, Kim Little, Steph Houghton - amazing players with so much knowledge and expertise.
"If that's being lost after their playing careers, that would be so sad. That's such a waste of everything that those people have done over such a long time period so to continue that after the playing career would be amazing for everyone included."
One game where all of Musovic and Chelsea's mentality will be put to the test is Sunday's WSL fixture against Arsenal. The Gunners, under recently-appointed boss Renee Slegers, are on an unbeaten run of their own and currently sit second in the table.
"It will be an interesting one," the goalkeeper said of the game. "They have a squad who are the same level as our squad - amazing players. But somehow, they didn't manage to click in that the first part of the season, which I think they have done now.
"We love playing at Stamford Bridge, not least when the crowd is there with us. We want to play in front of a whole crowd, whether that's at Kingsmeadow or Stamford Bridge or wherever, I want us to fill stadiums.
"That's what we deserve and that's where we're heading. It's the best feeling when you go out there, you hear all the noise, you see all the blue flags and you're a proud advocate of the women's game because you have been on this road where we basically didn't have anyone in the stands - maybe a few people and mum and dad.
"Now to be selling out stadiums, it's such an amazing and proud feeling. Then as a player, you stand there and you're like, 'this is what you trained for, this is where all these tough hours are going - to lead us to this moment'."
