One of the interesting things of raising a strong athletic daughter is that to her women and girls being successful at sports is not a big deal. There are an amazing amount of impressive women athletes and in her short lifetime she has been able to witness much success; the London Olympics where USA swimmers conquered the pool, the USA women’s gymnastics team won gold in team and all-around. We watched winter Olympics and saw skiers and skaters and other women athletes win too. And this year, the USA women won the World Cup!
I love having so much positive athletics to show and inspire Ally with. For the final game I got us all shirts to cheer on USA with. Ally got an official team jersey, Becky an official USA soccer t-shirt, and I juts got a USA flag shirt.
Ally put her hair up in a pony tail (like the players) after her shower, and started a letter to Lauren.
Here she is before the game started in her jersey.
Goals 1 and 2
Goals 3 & 4 – even Beth was getting in o n the cheering and excitement.
Goal 5 was amazing.
So excited and concentrated and focused.
But then it was over – and pure joy. They won!
