Thursday - Going Home

This morning we are packing and getting ready to head to closing ceremonies and then home.

It's been an amazing 3 1/2 weeks with 20 remarkable young women (19 players and my assistant coach Jessica). For a group of young women from diverse backgrounds to live, train, play, have hearts broken and then rebound together and still truely care deeply for one another is amazing. They go home knowing they will all be connected forever. For me, I go home with the memories of seeing them each grow as athletes, soccer players and young jewish women.
But I'm most pleased that I now have 20 additional daughters.

It's been an honor and a privilege to have been entrusted these wonderful young people.

Vivareshicha Adonai V'yshmircha;
Ya-Ayr Adonai panav Aylecha v'yichunecha;
Yee-saw Adonai panav Aylecha v'ya-saym l'cha

May the Lord bless and keep you; may He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance to smile on you, and give you Peace.
