Turns floorball into a playful dance with incredible club technique and decision-making ability. Skilled at creating space for herself and others with seemingly small means such as body control and ball receptions. She combines sharp goal-scoring, opening passing and tricky moves that are always a factor in the match.
Who represents #FairFloorball the best? – #44 Lisa Carlsson
One of our three captains in the group who always acts like a super professional: competes hard against herself and others, but always with fair means. A player with a clear and confident body language that both signals authority and gives her surroundings positive energy. She can also conduct a dialogue with a clear point of her own and at the same time with respect for her surroundings. A great role model!
