Time For A GOLD MEDAL

Some of y’all know I’ve been playing tackle football since 2002. Started in Jr High and played a couple years in High School. When I discovered women’s tackle football around 2009 it changed my life forever and I haven’t stopped playing since! My football career has had it ups and downs from injuries to losses. I had a severe neck injury in the championship game back in 2019 that left me paralyzed on the field and resulted in neck surgery. After a year of healing and rehab, in 2021 I took a chance and joined the Texas Elite Spartans, we won a championship that year! My first ever! The emotions were everywhere considering the major neck injury I had just faced! I’m grateful to have experienced that feeling and now I get a chance to experience another huge opportunity! I’m grateful and honored to be selected to the USA NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM! A dream I’ve been chasing since I started playing women’s tackle football!! But not without y’all’s help!

 

March 2022, over 200+ Women tried out for the US National Team in Bradenton, FL. I was honored to be one of the 45 women selected to represent our country to defend the gold medal. THIS SUMMER, the U.S. Women's National Football Team will compete in Vantaa, Finland. The games will be held July 28-August 8. Seven countries will compete for the gold.

 

Like many Olympians, we have to raise money for training and travel. I am asking for your assistance and support to make this dream come true.

 

No matter the amount, every donation helps! I genuinely thank you for reading/following my passion in the world of Women's Tackle Football!
