Empire Diaries 🎬🏉

A little behind the scenes of our last shoot and a chance to see some of the women who make Empire what it is.

Empire has always been much more than what’s going on on the pitch. It is the coaches, the players, the friendships, the laughs between takes and the people who bring their energy every single day.

This shoot was all about capturing that side of Empire. The personalities behind the academy, the moments you don’t always get to see and the community we’re so proud to be building.

This is Empire Diaries. A deeper look at the people behind Empire, with plenty more to come. 💜

Empire Diaries: Series 2, Episode 1, Kylie Masur 💜

Kylie Masur is our incredible Strength & Conditioning Lead at Empire and a true role model to all of our girls and wider community. 👑

Kylie has been by Jess’ side since the idea of Empire was first created. Her passion for strength & conditioning, supporting girls in sport and her love for the game shines through in everything she does. This is exactly why we knew she just had to be part of the Empire journey from day one. 💜

From helping our girls become stronger and more powerful, to building their confidence and belief in themselves, Kylie has played a huge part in shaping what Empire is today.
