"This will be my first winter [in Minnesota]. I'm told I'm in for a big surprise, coming from Florida." -Stephanie Samedy “I’m better conditioning-wise because of [playing in] Korea. I’ve gotten stronger because of how we lifted over there, And I think mentally, I’ve just gotten tough just going to a country where the language isn’t English, a place where practices were really intense and then you make it all the way through and walk away with a championship. All that stuff is momentum.” -Jonquel Jones “I understand and appreciate the significance of the moment. I think it’s a wonderful opportunity. I’ve always considered myself a play-by-play announcer first and foremost. In that regard, you work hard at your job every day and hope for bigger and better assignments. I was happy I was able to work my way into a position to get the call to do this.” -Beth Mowins Major congratulations to Mowins on being the second female in 30 years to call a regular season NFL game. Let's make this a norm now!
"Now I was going back [home to California]. Back to where, as a child, I used to write little poems to my mom. Back to where I used to ride around in the car with my brother singing along to every song that came on the radio — singing every word, including some I probably wasn’t supposed to know. Back home. Playing in front of my friends and my family." -Chelsea Gray Football may be back, but there's a team doing something amazing in Cleveland right now and there is no way that will be ignored. Enjoy another great feat in baseball because this is a gift that keeps on giving.
"I think I'm always striving for perfection. But I think I've been able to really look at the good things and celebrate those a little bit better than I used to. I can leave the gym happy after practice." -Muffet McGraw "If you have two feet and you have two hands, and you can walk and run, I say go play as many sports as you can." -Allie Havers "All the things that I thought before I was missing out on, I really wasn't. Like, you know, playing tennis is an amazing thing, and I'm lucky that I'm able to play a sport for a living. I really love playing tennis." -Sloane Stephens “I knew that I was capable... I hope that they all see how small how I am and no matter what mindset or color, race, size, gender, you can do anything you want.” -Holly Neher "I work until I can't work anymore, because I know if I go to bed sore, then I'm doing something right." -Megan Baltzell |
AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
