My history as an athlete is not one for the books.
Although I really wanted to be a cheerleader, my parents couldn’t figure out how or where to sign me up. I swam on the swim team every summer, but the LCC Lizards were terrible and lost every meet. And for one spring season my super-white legs and I donned black shorts every Saturday morning for soccer. My team was called the Rockettes, which may in part be why we lost every. single. game.
