,just exciting. the sport willjust keep growing. does that increase the exposure and put extra pressure on you as players? a little bit, we have to step up. for us, it is every thing we have dreamt of. you want to be on the same page as the men, you we wa nt be on the same page as the men, you we want to be looked at as role models and elite athletes. if you wa nt to models and elite athletes. if you want to be a role model and elite athlete, there has to be a level of expectation. after two years plagued by injury, jade moore has timed her return to fitness well. but having been diagnosed with two holes in her heart at the age of 16, she is used to coming back stronger. that did put a different spin on my outlook of football. i sit back and think, things could have been very different. i wouldn't have played football if i didn't know to this day. so your decision to take up the

sport has saved your life? yes, absolutely. corrective surgery has helped jay to continue the sport she loves, and acts as a reminder to make the most of every opportunity. does she have her eyes on the world cup prize? there is a massive chance, but you have to bring yourself down to earth, anything can happen in football, you have to perform when it matters. england will look to start with a win against scotland on the 9th ofjune. nobody wants it more thanjade moore. meanwhile scotland women meet up for the first day of their world cup training camp tomorrow after their squad was announced last week. staying in scotland and dundee united host st mirren at tannadice tonight for the first let of their premiership play—off final. st mirren finished second bottom of the top flight while dundee united were championship runners—up. there's full coverage on bbc radio scotland. still to come on sportsday:

the latest part of our change the game campaign, we speak to vicky thornley about women in sport and body image. i wanted to be thin and not have muscle, and the thigh gap. i am horrified now that i even thought about those things. the cricket world cup starts next week and england are widely regarded as the favourites to win at home. but the president of the mcc and former sri lanka batsmen kumar sangakkara says having that tag will count for nothing when the tournament reaches the knockout stages. england face south africa in their first group match a week today and sangakkara has been previewing the world cup with our sports editor dan roan. it doesn't matter who the tag falls onto, once you get to a knockout, it is any one's game. you can be the favourites coming into a tournament, but once the round robin stage ends, the tag is off and it is everyone's

fairgame. the tag is off and it is everyone's fair game. that is the excitement thatis fair game. that is the excitement that is key to this world cup, and i would love to see what happens once the knockout games start. there are only ten teams in this world cup, we re only ten teams in this world cup, were you disappointed there were not more? it is disappointing at times, when teams don't get an opportunity. but i do understand the constraints that are placed upon having the best of the best playing against each other in terms of having a shorter, richer experience, in a sense. but, iam sure richer experience, in a sense. but, i am sure that the other sides that have u nfortu nately i am sure that the other sides that have unfortunately been left out will definitely make a claim to being part of a world cup, and for a world cup to truly be a world cup, i think there will be changes down the line, where quality is on display at all times, and every match that is played has the highest quality of skill. finally, bbc sport has launched changethegame this summer to showcase female athletes in a way they never have been before. we're aiming to increase

the focus on women's sport and alter perceptions. today we've been looking at issues around sportswomen and body image. you may have seen a piece on the gymast katelyn ohashi earlier, and it's an issue that affects a whole range of sports. we also spoke to european champnships rowing gold medallist vicky thornley. i think the world is changing in terms of social media, it sometimes isn't the best place for this kind of thing, but there are a lot of athletes on there, or people, women influencers, if you like, that do go to the gym and lift weights, are muscular and have incredible physiques and are fit with it. people look up to them as aspirational as what they would like to look like. there is a positive change in terms of what people deem to bea change in terms of what people deem to be a feminine physique. if i'm honest, i feel like i to be a feminine physique. if i'm honest, ifeel like i have an experience of being on both sides, before i started rowing, i always wa nted before i started rowing, i always wanted to be a model and be really thin, not have any muscle, and a

thigh gap, and i am horrified now that i thought about those kind of things. and i never thought the person back then would now want to be more muscular. i am constantly trying to put muscle on, some people might not think it is attractive, but i think we should... it makes me feel stronger and more empowered when my body feels strong. you have to think of it as individual and own your body and be grateful that you have a body that is strong and working well, because not everyone has that. so i think being appreciative of what an amazing thing is a human body can do. wise words there. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. a former football coach has been found guilty of 45 counts of indecent assault.

bob higgins was accused of molesting 23 boys, mostly southampton and peterborough youth players, between 1971 and 1996. he was also found not guilty of five charges. hampshire police described him as a "predatory paedophile" who "thrived on controlling and manipulating his victims". our correspondent, dundan kennedy, has been speaking to the man in charge of this investigation. he began by giving his reaction to the verdicts. bob higgins is a predatory paedophile. he thrived on controlling and manipulating the situation he found himself in. he held the career prospects of those young men in his hands, and he exploited that in the most disgraceful way. many of them haven't been able to speak about this for all of their adult lives. how did he manage to hide it for decades. processes have developed

since the offences occurred. how dangerous a man is he? we have today brought a predatory paedophile to justice. these men have told us, the court and you, that they dream to have careers in football. however they reacted? have careers in football. however they reacted ? what have careers in football. however they reacted? what has it done to their lives? as you have seen, it has been a very emotional reaction to the verdicts that have been delivered today. we have to acknowledge that not everyone will have got the verdict they wanted, on the grounds that there were 45 guilty verdicts and five not guilty. but the court has listened to the evidence, they've listened to the bravery of the victims and witnesses over two trials, because bob higgins maintained his innocence throughout both trials. they've given that evidence and we must respect the decision thejury has made today. he also was cleared back in the 19905, he also was cleared back in the

1990s, so he has managed to get away with this for so many years. what do you say to footballing authorities for that? is there any case to a nswer for that? is there any case to answer there? there have been a lot of processes that have changed. we have worked in partnership with the football authorities, with safeguarding facilities that are now available to make youth football a much safer place. no he tricked them into believing he could make careers for them, he promised all sorts of things. was it a case of a very powerful man being able to manipulate young boys? absolutely, as you have heard many times, victims over this trial believed that they held... he held their future in his hands, he may not be lighted and exploited that from the start. like the promise of having a career in the premier league, or whatever became before that. they we re whatever became before that. they were young men dreamt of becoming footballers, and he exploited that as part of his sexual offending.
