Alisha Lehmann Is Making It Big. Know More About Her Lifestyle
Alisha Lehmann, a star for Aston Villa, is well-known on the field, but her efforts off the field have elevated her to one of the most-paid female athletes.
With the Birmingham-based UK team, the top player, who is renowned for being a striker who doesn’t choke, has just committed for another season.
Lehmann, who is only 24 years old, reportedly makes $300,000 playing for Aston Villa each year, but her off-field endeavors bring in even more money.

Lehmann’s career is compared to that of former football great David Beckham by PR specialist Carla Speight since she has more than 15.2 million Instagram followers, more than any other Women’s World Cup player.
“Alisha is the David Beckham of the women’s football world. She’s snapping up sponsorships with the likes of drinks, fashion and sportswear,” Ms. Speight told The Sun.

Lehmann has secured brand agreements with companies like EA Sports, Adidas, and fashion shop Boohoo. In an agreement that Ms. Speight claims might be worth up to $2 million, she was recently introduced as the first female ambassador for the sports drink Prime.
Lehmann has recently launched a 2024 calendar, with standard copies going for $95 and signed limited edition copies going for $290.
Lehmann is frequently the target of criticism that suggests, paradoxically, that she is too sparkly to play football, despite the fact that it is evident that she is forging an excellent career for herself.

She almost never goes out without a full face of makeup, amazing brows, and long, manicured nails, even while she’s playing.
Lehmann should spend less time getting ready and more time training, trolls mock her as soon as she makes a mistake on the field.

She has been forced to confront the controversy by pleading with the critics to watch her play because her glitzy sporting appearance has come under so much scrutiny.
“A lot of people only see the social side [of my life, via Instagram] and not actually how I play football,” When contacted about the unfavorable comments, she informed The Times.
“About this, I’m sometimes disappointed, because I work hard every day. I train every day and I want to be the best player I can be. They don’t really know how I play. I’m always saying, ‘Watch a game please’ — and then they’re surprised.”

Lehmann has made it plain that she has no intention of altering or softening her appearance in an effort to win people over.
“The message I want to give to people [is] that you can literally be however you want and still play football,” she added.
“Use make-up or do the things you like, do your nails, do your eyelashes, and still play football. It’s not a side you have to pick.”
