Like many of its rivals, injuries have taken a toll on Manchester City Women’s 2021\/22 season. However, instead of buckling under pressure, the team continues to display amazing resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City, which QNET has partnered with since 2014<\/a>, has had to deal with the departures of key players in the close season and big names like Lucy Bronze<\/a> being sidelined through injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet remarkably, others have stood up to be counted, including the club’s newest recruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s always a period of adjustment when new players come on board. However, our newest Sky Blues have hit the ground running. And QNET, being the official direct selling partner of Manchester City Women<\/a>, couldn’t be prouder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a journey that has many lessons for direct selling: coping with the loss of personnel (how many times have you had to cope with a member of your team dropping out or becoming unproductive?), ensuring your superstars are always performing at optimum levels, and perhaps most importantly, making sure a team performs as a collective for shared glory instead of just being a bunch of individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few of City’s new \u2014 and one not so new \u2014 faces that’ve been turning on the style this season, and the qualities that a direct seller can learn from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khadija Shaw<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Position: Striker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaw<\/a>‘s impressed from Day 1 at the Academy Stadium. But it was in the side’s Women’s FA Cup demolition of Leicester City that she truly revealed her class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netting a hattrick to book the Sky Blues a spot in the semifinals, Jamaica’s all-time top scorer’s sublime display proved just why she’s regarded as one of the best strikers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, the woman who wears “Bunny” on the back of her shirt remains humble<\/a>. She says: “It’s a team effort. I’m scoring the goals, but if it wasn’t for my team, it wouldn’t be possible.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
