Happy Easter!

As today was Easter, the U.S. team got the morning off. A bunch of players attended services in the morning and everyone was well-rested by the time afternoon training rolled around, and they needed to be as it was a combo weight-lifting/on field session. Half the team went into the gym to start training and the other half did an hour practice on the field before they flip-flopped. In the weight room today, the players tested their maximum squat. Apparently Briana Scurry and Amy "Pocket Hercules" Rodriguez had the heaviest lifts. The weather has been fantastic in Los Angeles and the temperatures for late afternoon training are absolutely perfect. Tomorrow is another double-day with team training in the morning and then some technical work in the afternoon. U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage still has about a week before she names the roster for Olympic Qualifying and those games still seem far away...but are surely inching closer and closer.
