WPS ALL-STAR GAME IN ST.LOUIS

All Star Weekend

Hey all. I’m in St.Lo uis chilling in my room and thought I’d share some of this experience with you guys. I am enjoying myself and spending time with my old teammates (Shannon Boxx – who is my roommate, Marta and Aya) and new teammates. It is great to hang out with everyone off the field as everyone has such great personalities.

I got in last night from New Jersey (I flew back to coach at Rutgers University – where I’ve been for 4 years now) for a couple days which was nice. It was sad to leave LA after the championship game because I’ve made such great friends with everyone over there. We had team dinner together with Umea, the Swedish team we are playing and then a meeting with head coach Abner Rogers, our league commissioner Tanya and CEO Mary who recapped the season and what to expect for tomorrow.  A couple of us went out to ice cream next door, hung out for a while then off to bed.

This morning we woke up, had breakfast then headed downtown where we took some pictures (I’ve attached a few) and one big one down by the arch. You’ll notice that none of the pictures are regular poses cus I figured you’ll see enough of those on other websites so I attached only KK specials…hope you enjoy.

We went to practice which was fun. Hope and I had fun training with my old Canadian gk coach/now new US gk coach Paul Rogers which was like old times. He had a lot of fun blasting balls past us. We then joined the team and played a small sided game and finished with shooting. There was so much talent on the field it was amazing to be a part of it. I think I had to pinch myself at one point. I had a blast J

Anyway we are back at the hotel getting ready for the awards banquet tonight which I must get ready for. Hope you like the pictures…I’ll try to get one or two pics in before the end of the night up also.

Make sure you check out the game tomorrow starting at 1:30 PT on Fox Soccer Channel. It should be a good one…

Hey guys,

I hope you can all either attend or watch the WPS final as we take on Sky Blue FC from New Jersey. It will be a great game, I promise. I have been waiting for this game all season. At the beginning of the season this was our goal and here we are, less than 24 hours away from all our dreams coming true. It has been a crazy week with the dodgers game (Marta throwing the first pitch), to appearances and fun interviews. It is Championship time so we will leave it all on the field. We all play for our teammates, our families, our friends and our fans. I personally cannot wait. Please join us and support us in whatever way you can. Tomorrow is going to be a great day and really I cannot wait….

God bless
