Getting community feedback & ideas during this process has been so fulfilling 🥰

We’re smack in the middle third of developing our team identity — and I think how we respond, as a collective, to the word Denver, out loud, needs to be discussed & agreed upon 🤝

But there’s gotta be some sort of loud BOOOOOOOO in there.

You can only hope 😁

Good morning Bluesky, have a day! Happy Thursday!

Two of my three teams won this weekend. (Not shown: two yellow cards & the sudden onslaught of teen ennui.) @croatiajuniors 🇭🇷

There is so much damn crying in this job.

A quick minute preview of what’s on the episode & what it’s like once you get me going about soccer in Cleveland…

What I loved most about New York Times writing this article — they wanted to know Cleveland’s next move.

Access & exposure to women’s sports can change presumptions faster than you realize (about way more than sports).

I am the “league spokesperson” quoted at the bottom. That counts as making NYT, right?

After failed NWSL bid, Cleveland Soccer Group looks to new opportunities in lower division WPSL Pro looks to provide 'more opportunities' for women looking to play soccer professionally

I’ve taken a few months mostly off socials (challenging when you manage a brand’s socials 😅), but happy to come back with the big soccer update!

What a lineup for this WISE Cleveland event at Brewnuts on Wednesday, April 16, 5-7 p.m.

Hear about at least 3 major new things developing in women’s sports for Cleveland, economic & greater impact of women’s sports & how 4 women got where we are today.

The number of times I’ve said “fuck knees” over the past couple years…

LFG

That Enoru charged out with a very good shot on goal with 45 seconds… gonna be interesting.

And then Enoru charging out with a shot on goal within the first 45 seconds 🔥

Tamworth’s Beck-Ray Enoru hopping up on a teammate’s shoulders to tape the sagging goal net (with the GK’s finger tape) is everything. #emiratesfacup

Up & at ‘em early on a Sunday for the pure beauty of the FA Cup ✨

It’s the whole “help all of them reach their maximum potential” that does it for me.

USWNT head coach Emma Hayes looks to ‘bridge a gap’ for ‘lost generation’ with Futures Camp Plus, three key players to watch

Filling this gap is exactly what drew me to WPSL Pro. Our women’s side has dominated for two generations.

That won’t be the case if we don’t support the women’s path.

I was told the ESPN team covering tonight wouldn’t make me mad. But I didn’t chance it.

🔥🔥🔥

OKC is a phenomenal team. This feels so great.

(Knock on wood, throw salt over shoulder)

Yes, Cavs. #Letemknow

I am positively fiending for an NBA Championship this Cavs team is historic

I watched the local Cavs-OKC broadcast so I didn’t have to hear nationals figure out how to disparage two mid-market teams.

And it’s been lovely 🧡

What about people who drink a whole day’s worth of coffee before 10 a.m.?

Too. Many. Y’alls. 💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I learned a lot in 2024. I was welcomed to be in rooms I hadn’t been before, to ask questions, listen in, absorb, experiment & learn more.

Working with people who do that — welcome, encourage, mentor, amplify, nudge — is life-changing.

2024 said what it said. Let’s see what 2025 has in store.

We built something special in 2024. We welcome 2025 & all the possibilities ahead.
