FRIENDS FOREVER THROUGH FOOTBALL

Ok while the California WBFTALK crew prepares the duckies for flight (check out womensfootballtalk.com blog). I am preparing for midterms. ya so much fun. Upon checking my email today I had another football friend add me to their facebook list of friends. You see when you join a football team it is not just for that season it is for life. Over the past few months I have really realized this due to all of my old teamates and myself meeting back up on facebook and the occasional email I will get from a mass email sent out by my old team the sirens. I always chuckle. I was invited to a Halloween party but yet it is five four states away. LOL I love it though. I still feel I am part of the team at least in spirit. The moments may be short but the memories will last forever. I have to say if you do play football invest in a digital camera. A small one of course that you can take on the field with you. You can take pregame pics and after game moments. I encourage everyone to have the pics on their website. Before I even joined a team I would spend my free time checking out all the photos of all the teams and leagues. I had printed out my favorites and put them on my wall. We need these favorite pics of women football players and moments I would love to start a mag that had all the favorite pictures and articles of all the favorite moments. We are mighty woman and have much to share and tell. I encourage all readers to call the wfbtalk show share this info with us. If you are shy like some of are favorite listeners then email us at contact@wfbtalk.com. These stories are monumental big or small they shape all our women’s teams.

I was asked about the likelyness of the leagues joining. I would have to say all though I would love for us to all join forces and work together I agree that if just one player speaks positively about their playing experiences that this is a step closer to making women football known. I think at this time we still have many different ideas of how things should be presented and run but I think it is good to try out all options it is still in the best interest of Womens football. So currently I do not see the leagues ready to become one but maybe soon they will see that combining would strengthen and we could all play each other let’s face it with all the teams switching leagues we all have already played most teams. So why not just start out small all the leagues national champion teams from that year play one another in a womens nation bowl bring on the sport make it a charity event and raise some money and have fun playing football. BLACK WHITE GREEN WE ARE ALL WOMEN AND ALL JUST WANTING TO PLAY FOOTBALL BUT AS ON THE FIELD IT HAS TO BE A TEAM EFFORT! Someday we will be a TEAM league where all teams can play all as one. YES I HAVE A DREAM

Favorite football memories and pics.

Ok so get your favoritie memories and pictures in to bj@wfbtalk.com. and look for them to be posted and talked about on the WFBtalk. So I type while on a break and not much to say. The weather here is good football weather and I am still working out and training and trying to make sure that work and school is going to work with football. So this is the time in the off season where there are mens games everwhere and with having enough time away from playing I am ready to get back on the field. Sometime the waiting is long but now is the time to get out in the stores and buy any new gear you will need due to it being in seaon and in stock. Alright just wanted to post a small post now back to work. OH and keep dreaming of football.

Are you ready for some midterms!!!!

Ok so yes I have not been able to post on my site due to midterms makeup hurricane work and papers that are due. So I took a study break to say football is coming soon.Yet, I am not ready for it yet between school and work I am good at the moment. I have begun to work out and I think the fall is the best time to start doing some preseason excercises.

 

I go for a run at least 3 times a week and will shortly begin lifting  free weights and begin doing drills to retain my muscles for the upcoming football season. Be sure to archieve some of the training ideas from the WBFtalk site to get you ready and in shape for the up coming season.

POST IKE

Ok I know I have not kept up with this blog. School started and then Hurricane IKE came and a lot of us are still cleaning up. This the long patient time of waiting. Waiting for the insurance adjuster wating for the quotes on all the damage waiting for the money to make the repairs waiting for the clean up waiting for the workers to come make the repairs, waiting to be reinbursed.

So long and short of it. I am just enjoying the things I have like football. Nothing better to take your mind off things when you ahve a radio show each week and have to bring all your football news and ideas to the listeners. WBF talk although at times I struggle to find the time has become a time to just chat with friends about one of the things I love. FOOTBALL. So keep tuning in each week and listen to WFBTalk.

Midterms for my grad school classes are coming up and work always has somthing to throw at me, but I will try to keep updating this site. Stay tuned because there is a lot of things coming with the new season.

LOL

WHO IS THIS?

 That’s right this is me, hard at practice the week before the championship football game. I am sporting the women Xena football pads. Yes that is right they are made for women and fit the curves of women. The neck of them comes down lower and their is less arm restriction. I feel I can control my hitting better in these pads and that they are more of an extension of me. 

Hope everyone is staying in shape for tryouts and that they have a save and happy labor day. Don’t forget to tune in for all your great moments of WFBtalk this Sunday as we do our one year aniversary show.

WORKING OR WORKING OUT

 ok so some of both been busy working and school starts tomorrow, but for the last two nights I have been running so that is a good thing. I guess it helps me stay in shape as well as helps me lose weight. But onward and up ward. Support all your local teams help donate to the cause as the fundrasing begins. The off season does not mean anything about being off. I think you have to work harder and raise money and stay in shape to hold open your spot for next season. So get to it before it is time to step on the grid-iron. OH and if you are a younger girl that wants to play don’t be afraid go and join a pop warner team in your area. Besides it takes a real women to hit.

whoa low low low. lol

Yes, life has snuck up on me and my stats on this site are very low. I have just started grad school so I haven’t posted in awhile. What is knew for me.  yes, I do miss hitting on the gridiron, but I am glad to have a little time off. I have a lot to think about in the off season. TO whether I will play next season to which team I will play on. I am just glad that the sport is growning for more teams to join the league. I do favor the styles of one league over the other but it comes down to the since of a team that is family. It goes on how the players respect the coach on how they respond and how they lead the team. All of these things come to my mind. It is hard to decide when I have ties to both teams but I want the best fit for me if I decide to play. You just want to make sure you have the since of family. Laters for now.

SUPPORT THE SPORT!
