Soccer Euros 2022

 What an exhausting AMAZING week!  Chris and I had the honor of coaching the Naples Women's Soccer Team during the DODEA European Championship Tournament in Germany.  Saturday night we loaded on a bus for our 17 hour journey north.

Stretching our legs and enjoying a little team building once we got to Kaiserslautern 

We watched the ESPN film on Abby Wambach before heading to dinner

Beautiful ladies inside and out!

Ready for day #1 of the tournament

Goofy Girls

Reunited with our friends, Julia and Kenny, who coached the Bahrain Women's team

The sensational Jess Sparling was on the sidelines with the Vicenza Women's team

Enjoying these special, unexpected moments with my #1 girl on the bus

After our game I got to cheer on the softball team and snuck a quick selfie with Coach Amy.  They went on to bring home the championship!
