February 2, 2008 - Andrea
hasn’t played sports since “softball as a little kid.” She
is enjoying her exciting new experience. Her biggest
challenge in playing football is staying focused. Being an
Eastern Michigan University Police Officer, she has worked
on multitasking and is trying to bring those skills to her
game.
As she receives the ball she is
concentrating on being focused, looking the ball in and
having faith she can catch the ball if her hands are
positioned correctly. It’s a lot to keep track of and
Andrea is confident she will put it all together and “get
it” as a player.
Andrea is a spoiled girlfriend and very
happy in her relationship with her boyfriend, who helps her
practice. She is also a proud “mother” to one dog and two
cats. They are all rescue animals. Speaking of rescues,
Andrea went on a ‘big cat’ rescue in Costa Rica during which
one of her proudest moments happened: she was sprayed by a
Jaguar.
Andrea has “done an admirable job”
working on drills and learning the game, claims Coach Val.
Andrea is a bona fide rookie who says her favorite football
moment was when she started feeling like a football player
during practice. Her major football accomplishment is
“learning how to catch and throw the darned thing.”
