|
What is your favorite sports
memory?
|
My freshman year in college, our basketball team was trailing the
three-time defending champions in the championship game. They were looking to win their
fourth straight title, but we overcame a 13-point deficit with five minutes to go. With
the game tied at 54, I made the game-winning three-pointer with six seconds remaining to
win the game. |
|
How did you hear about women’s
football?
|
The owner of the Philadelphia Firebirds lived around the corner from
me, and I saw a flyer for tryouts on the door of our corner market. |
|
Why do you want to play women’s
football?
|
I honestly want to play just for the love of the game. Admittedly, it
feels great to be able to “prove” something to outsiders of women’s football who are
looking in, but it feels even better to prove to yourself that you are able to reach
your full potential. |
|
What does it mean to you to be a D.C.
Diva?
|
It means that I have a chance to start over, learn new perspectives,
and create new, everlasting friendships. I’ve always felt that the absolute greatest
thing about playing women’s football is not necessarily the actual playing of the game
but the friendships you build and the memories you create. Those are the things that
really stick with you forever, and the opportunity to create those relationships lies
here in DC with the Divas. |
