We have to be honest. On days when the U.S. team has two trainings, nothing to exciting goes on at all, making the WNT blog a bit boring. This is basically the schedule on double-days:
| Wake Up | 7:15 am |
| Breakfast | 7:30 am |
| Gear up, taping, treatment | 8-9 am |
| Drive to training | 9:30 am |
| Training | 10 am |
| Drive back from training | Noon |
| Showers | 12:30 pm |
| Lunch | 1 pm |
| Massages and treatment | 1-3:30 pm |
| Nap, read, TV, meetings | 1-3:30 pm |
| Gear up, taping | 3:30 pm |
| Leave for training | 4:00 pm |
| Training | 4:30 pm |
| Drive back from training | 6:00 pm |
| Showers | 6:30 pm |
| Dinner | 7:00 pm |
| Meeting | 7:30 pm |
| Massages and treatment | 8-10 pm |
| Bed time | 10:01 pm |
Thus the myth that life on the road with the Women’s National Team is all glitz and glamour is now officially dispelled. But hey, no one’s complaining. As former U.S. Men’s National Team head coach and soccer philosopher Bora Miluntinovich once said of the international soccer players’ lifestyle, “such is the life…but it’s a good life.”

I wouldn't mind a massage after every training session! It really is the life! I might have to bring this up to coach, might make us play better!
But very interesting things (at least to fans) happen in training! How about a description of the types of drills Pia is running the team through or her tactical discussions? I'm not asking you to give up super secret strategy for the 4 Nations but surely you could tell us something about practice formats. Pretty Please!
Or how about some pictures or video? The men have photos up from the last THREE DAYS of practice, and the women have nada. Don’t make me go feminist. I mean it; I cannot afford to burn my bra thanks to high gas prices and jacked up tuition LOL
