To the entire Earps community, the amazing supporters, and Paris Saint-Germain Féminine,
I am incredibly appreciative, emotional, and proud of the journey that has molded my life on both a personal and professional level as I sit down to write this letter. I will always cherish the events, connections, and unique memories that football has given me. Without the constant encouragement, belief, and support I have had throughout my career, none of it would have been possible.
I am grateful to Paris Saint-Germain for allowing me to join a team that values excellence, ambition, and passion. I experienced the respect and trust that every player aspires to have throughout their career from the first day. It has been an amazing privilege to represent this team, and I am incredibly appreciative of the atmosphere that has helped me develop both personally and as a goalie. Every training session, every obstacle, and every moment spent with coworkers and employees motivated me to grow stronger and more resolute.
Your support, supporters, has meant the world to me. Your enthusiasm, faith, and devotion have supported me through both the good and the bad times, whether we’re in the stadium or on the other side of the globe. Even though football can be emotionally and mentally taxing, reading your words, hearing your chants, and experiencing your support served as frequent reminders of why I initially fell in love with this sport.
I want to express my gratitude to the entire Earps community for supporting me during every stage of my journey. I couldn’t express how much strength you offered me in times of victory and hardship. You gave me hope that people could be inspired to pursue their aspirations without fear by your perseverance, hard work, and genuineness.
I also want to thank each and every coach, teammate, member of the medical staff, and everybody who works tirelessly in the background. Football success is never attained by one person. The combined efforts of those who believed in me and encouraged me along the way made every save, every triumph, and every milestone possible.
I’ve learned bravery, self-control, and resilience from football, but most importantly, it has taught me the importance of community. One of my biggest blessings will always be the connections and memories I’ve made over my career.
I am incredibly proud and grateful as I continue on my adventure. I’m grateful that you made it possible for me to dream, develop, and accomplish more than I could have ever dreamed.
With unending gratitude and affection,
Earps, Mary
