WNT Camp Day 5

Final Blog from camp (from yesterday).

Here at the airport. I made the Nation’s Cup roster!!! Officially an Eagle!!!

After the morning practice, we had a meeting (good vibes all around) and outlined the steps we’re going to take these next 40 days. We’ll have workout groups that are competing against each other, a private facebook page, with which we check in twice a week, an Eagle google docs page, where we track our progress, and Eagle Days, which will be designated days on which we do the same extended workout (and I’m going to invite a lot of people to workout with me).

Also, at the meeting we were informed of selections, and as I said, I was one of 26 players on the Nation’s Cup roster! We’ll be playing England first, in Toronto, at the WNT, and I’ll probably be playing fullback when we do.

After the morning meeting, some of us had to get fitted for mouthguards (again I feel like I’m in college again—we got fitted for shoe inserts at the beginning of the year while playing basketball for ECU). And after the mouthguard fitting, we were free to take in the scenery of Chula Vista or explore nearby San Diego.

I decided to go to SD with some of my new teammates and get some tasty Mexican food. Our head coach, Pete, joined us, and we all took turns ribbing each other. Then it was off to the airport—not a bad day.
