Offseason Update

contributed by Ashley Debeljak '13 (pictured above on the left with Kendra Simmons '13 and Deena Levey '13)


Off season for me = no off time. Yes, our days of soccer practices and games are over for now, but staying in shape and making yourself a better player is hard work (playoffs next year baby!). We have lifting 3 days a week, which is difficult but rewarding because I can tell I am getting stronger! Lifting with the team is great because you have their support to keep you motivated in the off season. I usually go to the gym with Kendra and Deena, but I also see a lot of my fellow teammates over at Veale.


IM basketball is also an activity the team does together to stay in touch! Despite the loss to the volleyball team, Team 1 had a very successful run! Don’t worry, we beat the volleyball team in everything else :). Congrats to the team though for making it to the finals! Kick some butt girls :) !


Classes are more time consuming than in the fall. I am taking more credit hours and it is a lot of work!


I’m really excited to get back in the swing of things once practices start again. I can’t wait to spend most of my time with my beautiful, wonderful teammates (miss you girls!). I’m also looking forward to some nicer weather!!


Well, that’s all for now - I need to study for a nutrition test! Hopefully, I can pull off a good grade despite the constant distractions from studying thanks to the Olympic Games! Go U.S.A.!
