Dearest friends, followers, and footballers alike,
I hope you enjoyed the last post as much as I did writing it. Now enough with the laughter, it is time to get serious with what the future of US Women's soccer may look like. I believe a great word for the future of this team will be adjustment and adaptation. There is a new coach, there will be new players, there will be new tactics, and there will be plenty of blood sweat and tears.
Since the golden victory match over Japan in the 2012 London Olympics, so much has already happened with these amazing ladies. Hope Solo released her book Solo: A Memoir of Hope and gained national recognition for it (I have the book and plan on reading it over Thanksgiving break!). Alex Morgan is taking on the face role of a Nike symbol to women everywhere. Her skill with the ball has made her an international icon and she has signed a deal with Simon and Schuster's for Young Readers to write a three book series that will reach out to the youth about building leadership skills in soccer. Megan Rapinoe is taking a stand with large corporations and winning awards from the LA Gay and Lesbian Center. She was nominated and placed in their board of directors; she will do great things! Abby Wambach, Christie Rampone, and several other US ladies are traveling the country spreading awareness about women's soccer and helping explode the lady footballer industry. But what about on the field? What is the team doing to stay in tip-top shape and prepare for the 2015 World Cup in Canada?
They're still training their butts off, duh! Here, let me show you! Even though this is a pre-world cup video, this is basically what these girls are doing in the gym. I hope this (in an Arnold voice) PUMPS YOU UP!
oh yeah annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd this
These videos say more then I ever could. The ladies are finishing up their victory tour and are beginning to travel overseas to play other international teams. The World Cup in 2015 will be here before you know it. And it will not be far away! CANADA BABY! There is so much to get excited about with this team and the upcoming years. We will get to see a new coach, new players, new tactics and who knows what else. There are many changes coming. These ladies must keep on top of their game and stay focused to continue on the path the greatness! Can greatness be found in the upcoming years??? I want to know what you think! Tweet at me or comment below. Thank you all for being loyal followers!
Love the business. Love the Game. Love the future of USWNT.
