Ever wondered what makes a football star truly stand out? Well, American ace Brittany Ratcliffe has just shared the inside scoop on her Washington Spirit teammate, Gift Monday.

In just three months since joining the NWSL, Monday has not only impressed on the field with her scoring ability but has also won hearts with her incredible personality, Footballrover reports.

And that’s why her colleague took time to reveal the key attributes that make the Nigerian forward an invaluable asset and a joy to be around.

Brittany Ratcliffe on Gift Monday’s game-changing impact

Monday arrived at Washington Spirit in March and quickly made her mark, scoring her first goal just two weeks after signing.

With four goals in eight NWSL games, the 23-year-old Nigerian international has proven her finishing ability.

But according to Brittany, Gift offers much more than just goals. “She’s the best,” Ratcliffe states, praising Monday’s all-around play.

Ratcliffe points out that unlike some players who might not engage fully, Monday works tirelessly, defending well, being excellent on the ball, and finishing strong.

This tireless work ethic is a key attribute that sets her apart and improves the team’s performance. Her recent goal in the 3-1 victory over North Carolina Courage also confirms her consistent impact.

“Gift does it all. She’s really a good finisher. She works hard … she defends, and she’s good on the ball. “You can’t speak highly enough about her,” Ratcliffe said.

Unpacking the Super Falcons star’s ‘good personality’

Beyond her on-field contributions, the Falcons forward brings a vibrant energy that’s infectious.

Brittany Ratcliffe raves about her off-field presence, saying, “She’s also so fine.” Always dancing, always smiling, she’s just such a good personality.”

These personal attributes—her constant positivity, infectious joy, and strong character—contribute significantly to team morale and chemistry.

“It’s been really great to see her … not only as a part of this team but also to see her get what she deserves,” 31-year-old Ratcliffe added.

Ratcliffe expresses her hope for Gift Monday to continue her rapid growth, both for her career and to help the team achieve its goals.

“I hope she keeps on going, because she deserves it, and I’m really happy for her,” Brittany Ratcliffe concluded.

It’s clear that Super Falcons’ Gift Monday is not just a gifted player but also a fantastic individual whose presence enriches the entire squad.
