​Career Highlights

Well Deserved
Having just completed nearly 5 years playing in  the Barcelona competitions highest level, Natasha signs her first professional contract with VV Alkmaar where she is to begin her professional career playing in the highest league, the Eredivisie Vrouwen League, in Holland. Holland's national women's team recently came 2nd in the World Cup to the USA and are currently European Champions which makes them the strongest country in Europe for women's football. VV Alkmaar's coach made an offer based around her helping Natasha to improve and it was an offer too good to refuse.
Natasha is looking forward to the start of her football career with a passionate and experienced coach and a young and talented team.

WOW!!!
Now Season 2018/19 and Natasha is again invited back to Australia to trial for the Australian U19 team. Another great experience for her as she is more familiar with the travel, the camp and the environment. Natasha had a great time but left the camp somewhat puzzled as the emphasis within camp was to play like the great FC Barcelona however the training and game play was not anything resembling FC Barcelona´s playing style and Natasha has very good knowledge in this area as she has trained with FC Barcelona and played against FC Barcelona many times. Not only wasn´t the training like FC Barcelona but as a player who lives in Barcelona with alot of first hand experience relative to FC Barcelona´s playing style, she wasn´t even asked one question in relation to FC Barcelona´s football style🤔😕.  However, Natasha took alot of positives from the camp to improve her game and returns to Barcelona to play some very difficult games against the likes of Reus, RCD Espanyol and Fontsanta.

Unbelievable!!!😳😳😳
Natasha set a new personal best in her single leg supported squat to partial depth. For reasons to long to explain here Natasha does a single leg partial depth squat in her lower body gym sessions and she has done so for years and this week she set a new personal best by lifting 170kg x 2. With a body weight of only 58kg, that is incredible.

She is phenomenal!!! After an incredible battle against the mighty FC Barcelona and a history making 0-0 result for Natasha's club in which Natasha did an amazing 11km in an 80 minute game, Natasha's coach commented how he thought Natasha's performance was phenomenal as she had run sooooo much in the game and had defended like crazy and in the 75th minute she was still sprinting forward to create attacks against the FC Barcelona defence. To put the distance into perspective, most professional male football players don't travel over 11km  in a 90 minute. To extrapolate Natasha's distance to a 90min game would equate to traveling 13km. These types of distances are extremely rare in football and unheard of for 17 year old female football players.

WOW!!!
Season 2016/17 finished with the pinnacle of opportunities and recognition for Natasha as she was invited into training camp for her National team,  Australia. Natasha came out of the National training camp absolutely pumped and buzzing. She was able to train amongst the best young female footballers in Australia as well as receiving quality personalized coaching. She now knows what is expected at the national level and is excited to get back to Barcelona and work hard to keep improving her game and to secure a position in the national team in years to come.

WOW!!! What an honour to be named in the same sentence!!! It was the beginning of the new year and a trial game for Cabrera to allow the new coaches to continue building momentum into the first game of 2018. While the game achieved its aim the WOW came before the game when Senior coach Javier spoke with Natasha and told her that she has the best touch of any player he has ever coached (in over 17 years of coaching football in Barcelona, Spain) and he thinks Natasha plays like Andres Iniesta, as though she has the ball on a string. What an absolute honor to even be mentioned in the same sentence as such a phenomenal and talented football player like Andres Iniesta. It is the opinion of many football experts that Andres Iniesta has one of the best touches in world football. Keep up the hard work Natasha as the results are coming and people are beginning to notice.

And the incredible football experiences keep coming for Natasha as she was invited by Nike to trial their new Phantom Vision football boots. Natasha was invited to Nike in Barcelona to firstly listen to the improvements that Nike have made to their new football boots then to take part in a full training session to test the new Phantom Vision boots. While the details will not be revealed here she did say that the new boots felt great and will be available in women´s sizes and that she is looking forward to playing another season in Nike boots. The new Nike women boots have allowed Natasha to increase her training and playing loads with much less work on injury prevention, in doing so they have become a very important part of her football program.

Natasha setting a new personal best in her single leg partial depth squat with 150kg for 2 repetitions. Certainly very impressive especially considering her age of bodyweight is 55kg and most  likely makes her the strongest female football player in the world.

Natasha moves with her family to live in Barcelona and she is invited to train with FC Barcelona. Her coach at FC Barcelona (Alberto) really likes her football brain and skills but also notices her speed and strength and is super impressed but the team was selected 2 months earlier so he could not select Natasha but he organizes for Natasha to play with a feeder team.
