The first week at Spanish Pro Football is complete.  I can't believe how fast it flew by.  Playing with high level players has been challenging and fun.  It's forcing me to play quick.  The facility is awesome and I have met people from all over the world.  Here are some photos from my trip to Valencia CF's stadium with my teammate Hope.  Walking out was such a cool experience.  Just like the professional players.  Thank you Ruben for setting it...

Check out my ride to training!!  Delta Airline's Airbus 350-900 Widebody.  Having a Mom as a flight attendant is the best when you travel.  Delta Airlines has been really good to our family.  I couldn't play soccer like I do with out the flight benefits.  If I am lucky, I can follow in the footsteps of Kelley O'Hara  Her Dad is a pilot for Delta Airlines.  How cool would it be for Delta Airlines to have multiple kids of their...

I found this article from the NCAA about flip throw-ins.  I had to work hard to learn my flip throw.  My family always went to open gym at CATS in Boulder on Saturdays.  Lots of trampoline fun.  Then I met Coach Zak from CATS who trained gymnastics with Danica Evans.  I met her after a CU game and she told me I could learn it.  It took me 6 months before I  did one in a game.  I had to...

Thank you to all of the coaches for coming and watching our Rush GA teams train on Friday and Saturday.  We had fun playing for you and I hope you did too, even with the lightening on Saturday.  Now we head to Oceanside this week to qualify for the finals in North Carolina.  ...

Can't believe it!!!  I qualified for the Colorado State High School Championships in the 100 meter hurdles.  Now I need to improve my time in the 300 hurdles.  I'm ranked 21st and need to be 18th to qualify.  I've got a meet on Wednesday to try and move up my ranking.   It's my last chance to qualify.  Training hard.  https://co.milesplit.com/meets/412149-colorado-state-track-and-field-championships-2021/info#.YMfXOflTlPY...

My team and I just went to Florida to play some GA showcase games. I didn't want to come home.  We had so much fun. We went 2-1.  We got off to a rocky start but ended the weekend strong. I'm proud of my team for coming back from a loss this weekend. We had 2 guest players from Hawaii Rush come out, it was great to play with players who play a different style and I really hope they...
