I thought this was pretty interesting – how about you? Do you have a favorite team? Of course, I am a big fan of the US Women’s Soccer Team (you can get Team USA Women’s Soccer World Champs Gear at Fanatics) but I enjoy watching just about any team on TV when I get the chance.

USA Womens Soccer

Congratulations to the US Women’s Soccer team for their 5-2 win over Japan! The World Champion squad just continued to gain momentum throughout the entire tournament and scored an unprecedented 4 goals in the first 16 minutes of the championship game.

Just like the USA Women’s Team in 1999, this group of world class athletes will inspire another generation of girls to play soccer at all levels.

Where do you go to get started playing soccer? Check with your local parks and recreation departments, YMCA or JCC, to start. Once your child has experience with soccer and wants to get more field time, there are travel teams, clinics, and soccer camps you can look into.

Greatness Has Been Found

I’m sure by now you have seen Nike’s “Find Your Greatness” ad campaign – the one that celebrates everyday athletes. I happen to love the part showing the little boy getting up the courage to jump off the diving platform. And I am sure you saw the Greatness Has Been Found shirts that the US Womens Soccer Team put on after their gold medal victory over Japan at the 2012 Olympics this week! Now you can get one of your own!

LOVE IT! Such a simple statement but such a powerful one not only for soccer fans but for the everyday athlete, too. I happen to love the Nike shirts that have been made over the past few years because they fit, they are comfortable and wash well.

Get your own Greatness Has Been Found Nike shirt from Fanatics – while they last!

Congratulations to Hope Solo, Abby Wambach, Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Lauren Cheney and the rest of the US Women’s Olympic Soccer Team!
