Feeling the Pressure
Hello Friends. I hope you all had a great 4th of July. I am writing to tell you that I am feeling a bit of pressure like I have never felt before in my career. It is amazing that no matter how old or young I am, or feel, there is still a desire to get on the field in a game and do well. Only if I could get on the field. I am balancing my inner desire to play in the games, with where I stand in my coaches eyes. With celebrations of the 10 year anniversary of the Women’s World Cup going on, I don’t just want to take pictures and sign autographs, although I do those happily. I want any attention to be warranted, so I am perplexed. Have you ever wanted something, and the more you tried, the harder and farther away it seemed? That is where I find myself. So I am trying to find my chi, calm, zone, happiness or whatever you call it. I don’t know the solution to this particular challenge, but if I come to any conclusions, I will let you know. I just wanted to share that whether you think you are the best, are the best, want to be the best, have people doubt you are the best, you have to continue to do your best everyday, so that when you get a chance to display your best talent, you will come through under the heat of the moment. So today, when FC Gold Pride take the field against St.Louis, I will warm up and study the game until my name is called.

If you feel like you’ve done all you can on your end, and what happens next is left up to the decision of someone else, I think the trick is to just try and be okay with whatever ends up happening, at least this time around. I know it’s not an easy thing to do if you don’t get the outcome you wanted. But as long as the opportunities keep presenting themselves, why not keep going for them? Just keep in mind that everything happens for a reason.
I don’t know if that helps, but that’s my advice. And I can relate, believe me.
Whatever does happen, Brandi, you have my support (and the support of many others, I’m sure).
