Tessa Nelson Q&A
|
If you could have a conversation with anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose? Why?
|
| My uncle Lenny…he recently died, and I valued his opinion and miss him terribly. |
|
Who is your favorite NFL player? Why?
|
| Ray Lewis…he is a great motivator and leader for his team, not to mention that he’s a beast on the field! |
|
What is your favorite movie?
|
| Remember the Titans |
|
What is your favorite quote?
|
| “If you start something, you must finish no matter how long it takes you!” |
|
What are your lifetime aspirations?
|
| To build a 24-hour child-care center for single working mothers and fathers. |
|
If you could play any other position, which one would you choose? Why?
|
| Defensive tackle…the defensive line is a selfless position that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. It provides the main opportunity for the linebackers to make the tackle. |
|
What is your most memorable Divas moment?
|
| My most important game was the goal-line stand against the Baltimore Burn a number of years ago. It proved that when the whole team is working together, it is impossible for anyone beat us…no matter where they are located on the field. |
