@Kerri24030170 I also gave myself a lot of grace when I wasn’t feeling well. That also took time to learn. Some days my best looked very different from when I wasn’t in a flare
@Kerri24030170 Thank you! This disease affects everyone differently and I believe medicine helped me regulate the really bad days. I quickly learned how to read my body and did my best to anticipate when a flare was beginning so that I could pull back on either training or what was stressing me
@Kerri24030170 Unfortunately I think it’s a very personal decision to make. I was very scared at first to open up but once I met some coaches that I trusted I was more willing to share parts of my diagnosis with them but that took a while.
I know the importance of having the support from all the fans back home. Join me in sending our @USWNT off to the WC with words of encouragement before todays match.

I’m devastated to share that as my team heads to AZ to play in the Champions Cup, I will be rehabbing after knee surgery. I know I’ll be back stronger and ready to join them sometime this spring. I’ll be cheering them on and hoping they crush it! @ChicagoFCUGA06
I am excited for the opportunity to work side by side with members of this task force, the implementation committee and @ussoccer to help bring positive change and a safe environment for all those participating from the youth level all the way up to our professionals.
