What does it mean to you to be a D.C.
Diva?
|
A lot of people don’t want me to play for the Divas; a lot of people
from the Falconz are mad I’m making the move. But I made a decision to play with some
really great players, and I think this type of offense aligns well with my wants and
needs. So for me, being a Diva means defying the odds, listening to myself first, and
giving everything I’ve got to the game I love. I have a lot to lose, but I will never
give up and allow failure to write my future. |
