 Childhood Dream
Playing professional football is a childhood dream of mine. At five I remember looking at my grandfather and saying to him, “I want to be big like you so I can play football.” I’d play tackle football in the yard with the neighborhood kids, but I really longed to put the pads on and hit someone. I went to a private high school in California that didn’t have a football team, otherwise I would have played with the guys. So I filled my high school sports dream by playing volleyball, basketball and softball. Time of My Life I received a softball scholarship and was a five sport athlete at Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, MD. After college I started playing flag football, but that didn’t satisfy my desire to hit someone. I wanted to play on a women’s TACKLE football team and I would go anywhere to play. Word came that a new league was forming and establishing a team in this area. Baltimore was the first team announced locally, so I tried out with the Baltimore Burn. Fortunately, when D.C. announced tryouts over a month later, I decided that D.C. was the team I wanted to play for. I made the team and debuted in the 2001 season. Now, going into my sixth season as a linebacker, I am having the time of my life and wouldn’t trade it for anything. |
