So with the 2012 CONCACAF Women’s Tournament metaphorically right around the corner (unless you consider time literal, but that gets into some really heavy theoretical discussion which is so far from what we’re doing here… so I digress.). That’s right, qualifying literally kicks off tomorrow (there will actually be a kick off, therefore… you get what i’m saying.), and we just figured why not get into the minds of one of those wonderful ladies and see what makes them tick off the field. It’s fantastic I tell ya!!
