Training

As we get ready for the game this weekend, I thought I'd give you a brief glimpse into the process leading up to the tournament. Besides working matches and watching games on tv and in person, there is a lot of running and weight lifting and other training to be done. It can definitely be hard getting up before the sun and putting in a full workout before work, but I think it's going to be worth it. Every time I feel like hitting the snooze button, I try to picture running down the field at the tournament and how good it will feel to really be prepared. For a look at some of our fitness training at a tournament, check out this website: www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/photogallery/gallery=1390723.html#1390576.

The test wasn't quite as fun as it looks in the pictures, but hopefully with all this training it'll be that fun in a few weeks. In the meantime, the training will certainly come in handy this weekend as we officiate the USA v Mexico in New Jersey.
